Tim Vis / GER (20:00 uhr)

«Mixing after SD video. On the integration of new technologies for the VJ beeing a performer.»
Tim grew up in a radio & TV shop. His experience that his father was a enthusiast hobby photographer and his mother beeing a seller of dance music in the store then might have lead him into live visualism, aka Vjing. After finding that visualist niche he started VJing in 2005 and developed his own styles using the Textmachine3D VJ software. From 2009 on he is co-producer of the B-Side Festival in Mannheim (GER) serving there as the technical manager.
He now tries to support the community scene through infrastructural projects within the AVnode network on an european scale, e.g. being the host for a VJ Camp in Greece or offer quality technical support, ideas and advice to other community festivals in an Open Source way of thinking.

THE TALK: Now that we have overcome the limited possibilites of old-style SD mixing by the development of new Hard and Software, there is the opportunity to redefine the VJ as a performer, not only beeing a controller of some software, which he was mostly after SD-Video outputs on the computers have been suspended. The talk is on concepts, ideas and the small tech-toys that make these reality.

«Radiance»
Rose Staff aka Radiance is a media visual artist, Vj and designer working with video and live performance in a range of settings, from video art installations to vibrant outdoor projections at festivals. Using experimental hybrids of traditional and digital art forms, she explores how contemporary phenomena such as communication technologies and audio-visual space influence our perception of the modern world.
She has showcased her work at events such as Glastonbury festival (Uk), Leeds Festival (Uk), LPM (Italy), Sonica Dance Festival (Montenegro), AV playground (Austria), Burning Mountain Festival (Switzerland).

THE TALK: She will talk about her personal approach to creating video material coming from a fine arts / printmaking and graphic design background and through a selection of projects. This includes ‘Memento Mori‘ which uses stop motion collages to remix religious iconography, and ‘The Space Between Us’ which uses physical performance art of walking between destinations in a landscape. She will also cover some of the experiences that have impacted on my practice such as working with the Australian collective Essence and undertaking a visual arts residency in Tallinn Estonia in 2012.
