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.

In collaboration with Plaza Futura we present two nights of
innovative and artistic audiovisual performances, live cinema,
theatre, dance, installations, live music.

In the programme Plaza+, a selection of international artists are
selected, that work beyond the experimental realm of technology and
live performance. A variety of Live cinema performances include
performances from:
Semiconductor(UK),
Ryoichi Kurokawa(JP),
Visualnaut (UK),
Nokami/Sans Soleil (CA),
DrifterTV (NL).
Ckoe+Nicklebeat (NL)

Selected theatre/dance-performances crossing the boundaries within
technology and audiovisual experience take place in the main theatre-
room. Japanese artist Hiroaki Umeda performs a unique dance-
choreography to create a sensational experience within movement and
light. 'Still life' from Andrea Bozic is an absurdistic theatrical
piece of dispair and two people who will never meet. It's a film
within a live performance, to create a new kind of reality.

Talks and presentations are presented from international researchers.
Xarene Eskander (USA)
presents the book, 'vE-"jA:Art + Technology of Live Audio-Video'.
Dutch researcher and curator Annet Dekker (Montevideo) presents her
examinations
on VJ-ing related to new phenomena such as games as 'Second life.'

Playgrounds (Leon van Rooij) selected a special video-programme of
artistic video-screenings,
along with live audio-visual performances by Kijkshock. The
interactive and architectural
light-installation 'L1ghtsc00p' by Roel Verlinden and Olga Mink, will
be premiered during PLAZA+.
