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.

Next workshop

Hi all of you,

This is a test to post on this blog by mail.
I can also announce that there will be an additional lecture by in the next workshop by Martine Huvenne. She will talk about her own research project related to theories and work of Laban, Vertov, Schaeffer,...
I stumbled upon a very nice remake/re-activiation/remix of Vertovs movie "The Man With a Moviecamera" Check it out at http://dziga.perrybard.net/ This database film project also reminds me of a work of Mark Amerika called Grammatron, an early Net-art work (http://www.grammatron.com/). Mark will lecture in the last workshop "Space", check out his homepages.

Dynamics & Interaction in live A/V performances - Eavesdropper

Dear participants,


Since time is limited i wanted to ask you all to send me some more info on the projects you have in mind for the very near future, preferably related to the Cimatics Masterclass. I'm obviously specifically interested in questions you might have related to sound and/or music, and to make most of our time together, my aim through this question is to approach things in a personal way, rather than a general way of stating the obvious. So please take a brief moment to consider the audio-part of your work and i'll be glad to shine my light on it. Please send your suggestions, questions, remarks.... to eavesdropper [@] knobsounds dot com
Looking forward to meet you all.
Yves

live a/v project research "space & place" #2

Expo 58 in Brussel

SPACE
- Atomium

"The Atomium is a structure that is half way between sculpture and architecture, symbolising an iron of cristal, magnified 165 billion times. Throughout the ages, man has sought to give architectural expression to his desire for height; towers, pyramids, belfries, cathedrals,…
The Atomium, in particular, embodies the audacity of an epoch that seeks to confront the destiny of man with scientific discovery."

By Mr. A. Waterkeyn
Atomium


RESEARCH
- Le poeme electronique

Originally performed during the universal exhibition of Bruxelles in 1958.
A mix of colors, lights, sounds, voices, images and electroacoustic music.
As Le Corbusier said himself : "Le Poème électronique se propose de montrer, au sein d'un tumulte angoissant, notre civilisation partie à la conquête des temps modernes".
"Le poeme electronique proposes to show,within a distressing tumult, our civilization on her way to conquest modern times"

This was the one of the first live audiovisual performances.
The Phillipspaviljoen does not exist anymore.

By Le Corbusier, Varese & Xenakis
