a christmas gift!

Just finished uploading videos from the first workshops to vimeo. They are all gathered in an album for the Cimatics Masterclass.

If any of you has a vimeo account, I'd be happy to add to the videos' credits. Marius is there! =)

Here are some free bits:










For more, go to the album!

Hello, ppl!

I'm Gabriel Menotti, the brazilian guy with the camera. I took part in the first workshop as a listener. Unfortunately, I'll not make it to the next ones. =/ But I'll try and follow your projects here in the blog, and contribute with some random rants.

Right now, I'm a PhD student at the Catholic University of São Paulo. My relation to live a/v is a bit exotic. During my MA, I researched the differences between the movie theater and the vj arena. Moreover, since 2003, I'm part of a grassroots film society called Cine Falcatrua (which means "hoax" or "scam" in portuguese).

Cine Falcatrua aims to emulate the cinematographic circuit using domestic technologies, questioning audiovisual distribution and exhibition within a new media ecology. We started downloading movies off the internet to exhibit in public screenings. At the present time, we are more into doing FLOS/DIY movie exhibitions, remix film festivals and videogame championships in movie theaters.

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

...and actually there are several links in my long text below... I didn't know it wouldn't show any color difference... it shows when you move the mouse over the text... sorry;-)

...and why not use the opportunity? Merry Christmas! Lotta

finally!

I'm Lotta. I'm a freelance dance artist. I'm involved in various projects with various roles; dancer, choreographer, project leader and teacher. My reality nowadays is based on studies at the Royal Swedish Ballet School, a 10 year performing background and further studies in pedagogics and various creative workshops.

I have collaborated with artists from the audiovisual field but I don't have much technical experience myself. As an example I've been dancing structured improvisation in sensory spaces, worked with motion-capture and I've been dancing in dance-films.

Apart from stage productions I have a great passion for working site specifically. I've been performing at a coke-plant in Germany, a water power station in the north of Sweden and on top of an airforce plane (in the hangar;-) for an EU-meeting in Sweden.

Lately my focus have been a lot on MOVE, which is a stage art project involving artists from four different countries that I project lead. In 2007 I also created a short film called "If ever so Temporary" together with F. J. Depickere and Parkrokker which is my only activity in Belgium before attending this masterclass.

Looking forward to see you all soon again!

Lotta
