★ Audio-Visual Performances★ 

Graham Dunning: Mechanical Techno
Originally a studio project for making recordings, I now also perform live using the Mechanical Techno method. Several looping records spin on the same axle, ensuring they stay approximately in time with each other. I layer up locked groove records, audio triggers to analogue sytnhs, mechanically played percussion such as a cowbell or a cymbal, and mechanically triggered drum machines. I take all these inputs and perform a live dub, mixing down to two channels live in one take.

Robin Rabauke vs Tschänz : XSICHT
Over several weeks a neural network has been trained to match faces and audio. With a training batch of tens of thousands of frames the network has learned to construct a human face from any given audio input. With a mixture of House, Glitchpop and Schneckno robinrabauke interactively explores the work of tschänz in a audiovisual performance. The two artists are experimenting with questions, answers and the neural network participates in a dialogue about faces, machines, music and a new reality that connects the perceptions of one world, seen by different minds.

Wijsneus: The german AV-collective Wijsneus plays danceable electronic music from strictly irrational dub to unforeseeable linear house. The music is optically supported with cumulatively layered and distorted videos from all epochs.

Chirp: Machine Learning Performance
Sounds, Images and biometric Data of Birds is used to recreate their sound and behavior. Due to interpolation between different kinds and glitches in the learning algorithm the sounds start very natural and get more and more sorted and structured like in modern minimal or electronic music while the image are becoming more and more abstract and generalized. Similar to my other work every performance is very different from the others before. 3 different neural networks are interacting and used for the recreation of sound using supercollider and image using open Frameworks. Everything happens in realtime.

Neil C Smith vs Bruce Lane: Amen $ Mother function (live-coding music+visuals)
One sample, one function – a live-coded, single function demolition of the most ubiquitous sample in modern music.

Ari Dykier: AV performance
Visual artist based in Poland, Ari Dykier attended Camerimage Film School and most of his career works as filmmaker. With passion for animated works he focused on creating animated visuals and since 2013 frequently takes a part in festivals like Live Performers Meeting(Cape Town,Rome,Amsterdam), Visual Brasil (Barcelona),Generate!(Tübingen),Patchlab (Kraków),B-Seite (Mannheim),ROM (Budapest),Nokta Festival(Opole),Kyiv Lights Festival and others.
In 2017 he made a project creating visuals for concerts of renowned polish baroque orchestra Arte dei Suonatori.
His works refers to tradition of surreal animation and wide range of art genres. Through the visuals made from vintage illustrations he attempts to recreate experience of dream and oneiric reality taking inspiration from childhood fairytales,movies, paintings, books or music.
As a self-taught animator he uses digital technics to create his content but also gives a try to traditional , hand drawing animation.

Batchass: Electro-visual performance
Original drawings, coded abstract animations, photos and video are combined with original electro-drum’n’bass music with improvised singing.

Gunston vs Rey Menta: Immersions organiques

Persona: Live performance

Furio Furioso vs Rey Mysterioso: Lucha de Pantalla Azul
The FURY! The SOUND! The ULTRA-VIOLENCE!
Rey Mysterioso once again will meet Furio Furioso in the squared circle!
The titans of tinnitus, the vicelords of visuals, the sultans of sound face off with deep throbbing bass and generative visuals, evoking a grumbling id that squirms beneath psychedelic and epilepsy-inducing abstractions.
SEE! The passionate pugilism when the dreaded Pantalla de Azul makes an appearence during a set!
