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.

I am eyekino


I am eyekino, I create, I am a mechanical eye.
Show you the world as I see it.
Now and forever, I free myself from human immobility.
I am in constant motion, I draw near then away from objects.
Maneuvering in the chaos of movement.
Starting with movements composed of the most complex combinations
for exploration, from the chaos of visual phenomena that fills space.
Eyekino lives and moves in time and space.
She gathers and records impressions in a different form than the human eye.

Hi all,

Sorry for leaving earlier at the first week without say goodbye. I had been suffering from severe neck-aches all week, and on thursdays I just had enough..

I also curate audiovisual arts and live cinema events. (State of the Image, Imageradio, Plaza+>>jan. 2008).


Looking forward to the 2nd week, next year!

Cheers,
Olga

Random images #2

This time from the exhibition of Holger Lippman at Mediaruimte. Running as realtime software, these pieces are self-running and autonomous of the artist, yet are clearly connected to concepts of live cinema. See this text by Inke Arns for a discussion of the performative qualities of software.

A late hello...

I just realized I still hadn't posted anything on the blog, so here I am. First of all, I want to thank all the people who came to or were involved in the Masterclass, the Cinematic Experience conference and Cimatics. I had a great time in Brussels and I hope you did too.

To start the ball rolling, here are some random images from the festival:
