Un eveniment organizat de Platforma AVmotional si Institutul Polonez
Skinny Patrini are a brilliant and enormously productive duo
created by Anna Patrini and Michael ‘Skinny’ Skorka from Poland.
They are a musical and visual phenomenon, often compared to such stars as Peaches and IAMX. And they fall very high within these comparisons.
It’s difficult to tag their music. What you can find here is rough post-punk, dirty electroclash or even mysterious melodies from neo-cold wave circles.
Skinny Patrini try not to stay in one style, they’re open to the new in music and – what’s very important – they’re not afraid to experiment.
Pe 26 septembrie 2009, o data cu implinirea a cinci ani de activitate, AVmotional organizeaza un eveniment aniversar care include lansarea DVD-ului AVmotional 2009 si renumitul performance audio-vizual live “d.o.a.t” (Death Of A Typographer) al artistului german Byetone (Raster-Noton) precedat de doua performance-uri ale artistilor romani Bogdan & Cote si Flat Hero.
26 septembrie, ora 21:00

Intrare: 30 Ron, DVD inclus in pretul biletului
Creata in 2004, AVmotional este o platforma ce urmareste prezentarea si promovarea de productii si initiative din sfera muzicii electronice, experimentelor audio-vizuale, VJ-ingului si artei interactive, atat romanesti cat si internationale.
In cei cinci ani de la lansare, platforma si-a castigat o popularitate larga si a initiat, practic, scena romaneasca de audio-vizual. Cu o activitate ce acopera trei editii ale festivalului AVmotional, lansarea primului DVD AVmotional (2004-2006), 14 editii AVion – o serie modulara de evenimente educationale/sociale dedicate atat profesionistilor in domeniu cat si pasionatilor, si alte cateva evenimente AV, AVmotional au prezentat in premiera, pana in prezent, peste 60 de proiecte audio-vizuale prin participarea a peste 90 de artisti din toata lumea.
Lansarea noului DVD AVmotional, o selectie a celor mai inovatoare si interesante proiecte audio-vizuale romanesti din ultimii doi ani.
DVD-ul AVmotional 2009 compileaza cele mai recente proiecte bazate pe legatura intre sunet si imagine in contextul muzicii electronice/experimentale si artei multimedia/interactive. Materialul dezvaluie, pe de-o parte, posibilitatile interfetelor contemporane dintre sunet si imagine si, pe de cealalta parte, modalitati de implementare a noilor tehnologii in arta audio-vizuala si cultura de VJ-ing.
Aceasta compilatie joaca un rol important in promovarea artistilor romani si a artei contemporane romanesti la nivel local si international. DVD-ul urmeaza sa fie promovat pe scara larga si va fi trimis celor mai importante institutii de arta, centre culturale, muzee de arta si galerii, organizatii, cat si curatorilor. Printre artistii ale caror lucrari apar pe acest material ii veti gasi pe Makunouchi Bento, Silent Strike, Paul Dersidan, Adrian Diac, Yvat, Brazda lui Novac, Dreamrec, Cote, Matze, Aaron, DJ Vasile, Bogdan, Vali Chincisan, Cinty, Mihaela Kavdanska/ mika, Minus, The Pixels, Dan Vezentan, TVCrash, Dilmana, Cougin&Aneb, Ana-Maria Huluban, weareom, Catalin Vastagu, Pupila si Agro.
Seara va incepe cu screening-ul DVD-ului Avmotional 2009 si va continua cu performance-uri audio-vizuale ale artistilor romani Bogdan & Cote si Flat Hero.
Main act-ul revine invitatului special al evenimentului, artistul german Olaf Bender aka Byetone, fondator si reprezentant al label-ului Raster-Noton, care va performa live renumitul sau proiect audio-vizual “d.o.a.t.” (Death Of A Typographer).
Noaptea continua sa fie tanara la after-party, unde vor mixa Bogdan si Logan (Haules Baules).
Olaf Bender aka Byetone, invitat special la evenimentul de lansare al AVmotional DVD 2009
Main act-ul evenimentului este artistul german Olaf Bender aka Byetone, fondator si reprezentant al label-ului german raster-noton.
Bender creaza muzica prin mijloace digitale, folosind unde sinus pentru a tese texturi sonore complexe imbinate cu o perdea de lumina animata, balansand componenta vizuala cu cea audio. Imaginile abstracte sunt controlate in timp real, dand nastere unei opere de arta dinamice ce depaseste problematica obisnuita a unui live de muzica electronica. Miscat de click-uri si efecte, ascultatorul e purtat intr-o realitate sonica alternativa, abandonand regulile lumii concrete.
Proiectul sau “d.o.a.t.” (Death Of A Typographer) a facut inconjurul lumii, in cadrul unor expozitii si festivaluri prestigioase precum muzeul Guggenheim din New York, centrul Pompidou din Paris, MOMA din San Francisco, Documenta X, cea de-a 49-a si cea de-a 50-a Bienala de la Venetia, Ars Electronica, Sónar, Mutek, sau Transmediale.
…inseamna Justin Uta, Adrian Diac si Paul Dersidan, trei personaje al caror trecut imbina muzica, video, advertising si design.
“Unheard Of” este primul proiect Flat Hero, iar la aniversarea de 5 ani AVmotional ei vor sustine primul performance live auzit si vazut vreodata de publicul bucurestean. Sunetul Flat Hero este electro, analog, pe alocuri dirty si intotdeauna melodic, dar secondat de voci vocodate, versuri semi-subversive si pe alocuri ironice. Prin adaugarea atenta de glitch-uri, kitsch-uri si putin funk au aparut primele lor piese pe internet, spatiul unde cele mai multe lucruri se intampla inainte de a iesi in public.
Imaginea Flat Hero este rough dar cu twist. Close-up-uri grafice, clisee cinematografice reinterpretate, hand made, si realismul sunt redate numai de o conversie greaoie din format TOD in MOV. Sunetul si imaginea celor trei baieti vorbesc contemporan despre generatia care crede in muzica, roboti, trash si bun simt.
“Mai degraba as considera ca muzica mea se bazeaza in principal pe structura si repetitie, in favoarea unitatii si din favoarea rabdarii. Atunci cand compun muzica electronica, practic trec neprovocat pe langa sunetele pe care le consider relevante fata de mesajul meu artistic si cedez in fata procesului de manufacturare a muzicii live. Niciodata nu prezic, primesc doar. Ar trebui sa fie usoara de primit si de uitat, dar importanta atunci cand o asculti. Mesajul meu nu e nici abrupt, nici concludent. Vreau doar ca oamenii sa inteleaga frumusetea creatiei in sine, importanta golurilor ce umplu spatiile. Puteti spune ca prefer coeziunea. “Harmony Within Repetitive Structures” e primul meu material important, o serie de piese curate, neoclasice si minimale pe care le consider demne de stima. Momentan urmaresc trend-ul, nu pot sa ma opresc, plutesc in ritmuri de dub. Am inceput sa mesteresc la noul meu album balearic-dub acum cateva luni si de atunci incoace fiecare zi in sine e un mic proiect stiintific. Tot ce vreau de la munca mea e sa exprime unitatea stralucirii. De aceea genul acesta ratacitor de muzica in care te scufunzi mi se potriveste perfect. Deocamdata.”
Diferit cu fiecare live, dar si cu fiecare DJ set, Bogdan Anghel se pricepe perfect la transmiterea unei stari apropiate de perfectiune. Cu siguranta unul dintre cei mai talentati producatori romani ce au iesit la lumina in decursul ultimului an, el va sustine un performance live al primului sau album conceptual, lansat la sfarsit de august, 2008.

In cadrul celei de-a paisprezecea editii a serilor AVion dedicate explorarii audiovizuale, AVmotional il invita pe Markus Altmann sa prezinte activitatile, artistii si cele mai recente proiecte ale label-ului Raster-Noton.
“raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton” e o platforma ce uneste granitele dintre cultura pop, arta si stiinta. Labelul localizat in Chemnitz, Germania, are o viziune estetica aparte, centrata in jurul unei muzici electronice ritmice, minimale, ce alterneaza intre ludic si introspectie. Totul este impachetat in spiritul unui design neconventional.
Evoluand perpetuu si dezvoltandu-si vederile conceptuale, operele lor de arta indelung aclamate continua sa impuna standarde in prima linie a inovatiei, cel putin in ceea ce priveste muzica electronica contemporana.
Fondat de catre Olaf Bender (Byetone) si Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto), prin unirea sub-labelurilor „rastermusic“ si „noton“, Raster-Noton a devenit legendar datorita release-urilor sale unice, semnate de artisti precum Franz Pomassl, Frank Bretschneider (Komet), Ilpo Väisänen (Pansonic), Mika Vainio (Pansonic), Ø (Pansonic), Ryoji Ikeda, Ivan Pavlov (CoH), Thomas Brinkmann, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Coil (EIPH), Wolfgang Voigt, Olaf Bender (Byetone), Richart Chartier, Kim Cascone (Goem), Frans de Waard (Goem), Roel Meelkop (Goem), Peter Duimelinks (Goem), Jens Massel (Senking), sau Taylor Deupree.
At the fourteenth edition of the AVion series for audiovisual exploration, AVmotional invite Markus Altman to present Raster-Noton label’s activities, artists and recent projects.
“raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton” is a platform covering the overlapping border areas of pop, art and science. The Chemnitz, Germany, based label has a particular aesthetic viewpoint, centered on rhythmic, minimal electronic music that alternates between playfulness and introspection, all wrapped up in unconventional design. Perpetually evolving and upgrading conceptual views, their highly acclaimed works of art continue to set standards and assert the front-line in innovation, for what contemporary electronica is worth.
Founded by Olaf Bender (Byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto), by merging „rastermusic“ and the „noton“ sub-label, Raster-Noton has become legendary thanks to its unique releases, signed by artists such as Franz Pomassl, Frank Bretschneider (Komet), Ilpo Väisänen (Pansonic), Mika Vainio (Pansonic), Ø (Pansonic), Ryoji Ikeda, Ivan Pavlov (CoH), Thomas Brinkmann, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Coil (EIPH), Wolfgang Voigt, Olaf Bender (Byetone), Richart Chartier, Kim Cascone (Goem), Frans de Waard (Goem), Roel Meelkop (Goem), Peter Duimelinks (Goem), Jens Massel (Senking), or Taylor Deupree.

The 70 min “Characters in Motion” screening specially curated for the AVmotional Association showcases highlights and fresh examples of a new generation of characters, bringing the style back into the world of animation. Pictoplasma was conceived as a passion project ten years ago with the goal of championing the vibrant characters that are springing from the minds of today’s pioneering artists, whether it be animation, illustration, graphic art or toys.
Since then, the project has evolved into a multi-tasking operation. It has published a series of highly regarded compilations, including “The Character Encyclopaedia” and “Characters in Motion,” that have gone on to become pictorial bibles of character design. The project has also been hosting annual conferences, festivals and exhibitions since 2004, joining artists around the world to talk about characters in commercial and gallery art.
At AVion12, Mia Makela (SOLU) will give an introduction to LIVE CINEMA (realtime audiovisual creation) based on her theoretical and artistic work. She will talk about the background, basic concepts and genres of live visuals, present a showcase of works and give a general introduction to software.

As project manager he is involved in a variety of artistic R&D projects at V2_Lab. He is involved in other V2_ public events such as the Dutch Electronic Art Festival (DEAF).
Wearable technology: fashion as interface/ On how the artistic practices of fashion design and interface design meet in today’s wearables technology field.
Presentation made by Michel van Dartel
A new skin for cyborgs.
Fashion and biology have dramatically changed the face of artistic research in wearable technology. While this field used to be dominated by a science-fiction style cyborg ideal of humans augmented with bulky electronics, the electronics used in wearable technology art nowadays are hardly visible, if at all. In contemporary artistic research, wearable technology is seamlessly integrated into our clothing and implanted under our skin. On the basis of classic and recent examples taken from the V2_ context and beyond, Van Dartel will show that the cyborg ideal in contemporary wearable technology is however still very much alive.
Drifter TV is an electronic audiovisual dance act that merges eyepopping animated visuals with pounding techno, acid and punkfunk beats. Sounds and visuals are being mixed on stage in an exciting and energetic live performance. With the use of stunning sound effects and digital projections, Drifter TV delivers a true ‘In Your Face Experience’.
The show tells the story of the ‘Drifters’, strange alien boy-scouts who have landed their vessel on planet earth in order to help out mankind. Their total lack of knowledge about the earth and its inhabitants forms no obstacle for their bizarre and sometimes surrealistic undertakings.
Drifter TV’s music videos have been selected for a long list of festivals and Broadcasted on Dutch national television. For the music video ‘Drifters From Outerspace’ They received the Tommy Award for best film at the Oneminuteawards-finale held in Paradiso, Amsterdam in 2004. In 2005 Drifter TV won the first prize of MTV’s VJ-contest ‘Visual Sensations’.
In 2006 their first DVD, ‘Drifters From Outerspace’ was released by Submarine.
