The venue of LPM 2012 ROME is the MACRO – Rome Contemporary Art
Museum, a location that perfectly fit the needs of the Meeting, but
also informs the event with a prestigious ‘touch’, both at national
and international level.

LPM mantains the 4 days formula and, as usual, proposes a spectacular,
innovative and engaging programme, and you too will have the chance to
make our edition unique: send us your best project or performance, and
come join the biggest live video event worldwide!
And you, VJ! If you think to have talent enough to compete in the VJ
Contest, subscribe and show us what you can do!
If you wish to participate to the Meeting, but you don’t want to
perform, subscribe anyway as you will have the incredible opportunity
to meet hundreds of live video artists, experts and practitioners, so
to further your knowledge of the hottest topics related to live video
performance.

The aim of LPM is to promote and diffuse the free circulation of
ideas, knowledge, techniques and languages related to LIVE VIDEO
practice, which will be the main focus of the Meeting.
Languages, techniques, cultural derives, innovative technologies:
these are the themes that we want to discuss during our seminars and
workshops. Send us your proposal for a talk, a presentation or a
workshop and help us spreading knowledge!

Zur Berliner Fashionweek steht eine marktorientierte Ausrichtung auf den zahlreichen exklusiven Modeveranstaltungen im Vordergrund. Mode als Kunstform und zugleich als politische Handlung war dort in der Vergangenheit weitgehend unterbelichtet. Das wollen wir mit der BUTT & BETTER ändern. Dafür reichern wir die Präsentation von Mode mit Akrobatik an, erweitern die Veranstaltung um eine Ausstellung mit Raum- und Installationskunst und sensibilisieren für ökologische und soziale Verantwortung von Mode in unseren Workshops und mit der abschließenden Fair-Trade-Parade.

visuell mit dabei sind neben Henne von den Lichtpiraten und den High Tech Nomads aus Norwegen u.a. VisualBerlin‘s neueste Mitglieder, Iman Deeper & Pharaz (Samstag Nacht ab 2:00) mit ihrer audiovisuellen Live Performance!

The project SYNÆSTHESIA deals with the neurological phenomenon synesthesia, where people see colours for numbers, have a colourful experience when listening to music or many other different associations.

With the aim to find a way to communicate to non synesthetes what these people experince, the project will bring artists and synesthetes into a creative dialogue.

The results will be exhibited in Berlin around march/april 2012.

We are still looking for participantsfor that project!

You…

• > have a practice in dialoge-based art or other collaboration-based projects in your portfolio
• > are willing to participate in a workshop at the start of the project
• > have a proposal of how to initiate the dialoge, a concept of your work-in-practice

Interested?

“Synesthesia isn’t just one weird way of seeing, hearing or smelling the world around us. Every synesthete has his very own way of experiencing a colourful or somehow exciting world. This is the point where my project focuses on. The diversity of experiencing synesthesia. ”
