Cimatics presents
A MASTERCLASS FOR LIVE AUDIOVISUAL ART
Cimatics, Brussels International Platform for Live A/V, presents a Masterclass Live Audiovisual Art, within the framework of the studio-program Experimental Media-art provided by the VAF (the Flemish Audiovisual Fund).
Because the biggest merit of live A/V is its cross-border and cross-disciplinary character the masterclass will challenge its participants to do just that: collaborate.
THIS BLOG WILL BE PRINTED AND PUBLISHED AS A BOOK

The goal of this blog is to generate an open-source effect: opening up the discussions from within the masterclass to the rest of the world. Let this be a call for everyone to participate and join or start a debate.
 
Eventually, this blog will be printed as a book. An additional DVD with the open-source versions (Creative Commons license) of the participants masterclass-projects will be available afterwards. So if you post something to this blog, you are co-authoring the book.

16mm loops and loopboxes

hi!! gabriel asked about 16mm loops, so here's some info for all:
last summer i did an installation with 4 meter long 16mm loops
it's called "spinners" and you can see a short clip here: 

for longer loop projection there is something as a loopbox
it's just 2 custom made spinning discs that you put on top of your projector and let the film go through as a spiral. 
the end of the spiral comes from the exit of your projector and the midst of the spiral goes to the beginning of your projector. 
the longest one i did with it was about 6 minutes. but everything depends on how smooth the wheels of your loopbox turn (often these are wheels of an old 16mm editing table or projector)

at the bottom of this link there's 2 clips as an example of the loop boxes:

you can rent it in holland for 25 euro's per week:
