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.

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.
