Atom Performance

[ English ]
Atom is a performance by Monolake and Christopher Bauder for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound.

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.
The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.

Recap: Brokenbeat Jan '09

[ English ]
A little late, but here are some photos from the last Brokenbeat and first one of the year, featuring L.A. based Cyber Patrol Unit (Bryant Place) on the visuals.

Probably one of the best nights I've seen so far, the dancefloor was still packed with people wanting more when the lights went on, it was very inspiring to me. Bryant visuals were hypnotic and while I was checking them out, they inspired me to create a motion piece for the next Brokenbeat night, I asked him to help me out and I think its coming along nice, this could be a new way to promote the night, were I can collaborate with different Vjs, locals as well as from abroad.

Kontakt | Ali Demirel

[ English ]
Contakt events explore themes of Identification, Connectivity and Security in our ever-changing technology dependant world. Through interactions with the Cube, the audience and performers are brought together in new and exciting ways, allowing direct contact and deeper connectivity than is normally available at these type of events.

A device called "The Cube" (a custom-built LED device) allows performers, and audience members (with member cards or not) to communicate and interact during the show through wireless, bluetooth and cellular technologies).

The fantastic visuals belong to Ali M. Demirel

This event makes me want to re-think the recent Top 10 list, and only reinforces my belief that you can't just measure these sort of thing with a top 10.
