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.

Collaboration and process

Documenting the process is sometimes of great help as allows going back and forward to some ideas, thoughts and references we came across while working, at any stage. Realtime audiovisual performance, Isn’t it a visible process of making?
The blog ‘Theory notes to Cimatics Masterclass’ aims at being a collective documentation of ideas that inform the projects in development.
Collective and collaborative work is closely related to the practices of realtime performance. The ‘texts box’ has a collection of written works to share. This is in a way, a temporary, little library about VJing and reatime audiovisual performance, to which all contribute with texts and books and that all can enjoy.

Place to sleep

Hi all,

I'm still looking for a place to sleep in/near Brussels from monday night - thursday night.
Can someone help me out with a spare bed?
If possible in Brussels?
Or maybe, if others are also still looking, we can rent a place together near the workshop venue?

Regards,

Arnold
