Construction 76, by Lia

Lia is an austrian visual artist exploring generative art since the early 90s.

Vienna was a hotbed of experimentation. A large group of artists pushed the boundaries of abstraction in visual art as well as music, often experimenting with code-based tools. It should be noted that the term “generative art” was not in use at the time. Nevertheless, the work produced at the time clearly articulated generative and procedural approaches to sound and image synthesis, prefiguring the current interest in such work. (read full article).

Here's a recent posted video :-)

Marta Hugon presents...

"Crash into me", the latest videoclip from jazz-singer Marta Hugon, a dear friend of mine.
Not the usual visual stuff I normally post, but the music is worth while and I really like the blurry cleanness of the video...

Great visuals by Flat-e!

My Secret Heart is a new music and film installation written by electronic composer and Warp artist Mira Calix, video artists Flat-e and sound designer Dave Sheppard.

They are working with around 80-100 Streetwise performers from across the UK to create a unique work that will be shown around the world.

The new piece is inspired by the Allegri’s 17th-century choral work Miserere Mei, a piece so protected by the Vatican that they put an embargo on it. Mira Calix and Flat-e have used the theme of secrecy to explore movements and singing with Streetwise’s participants to create this new century-leaping work.

The installation will be premiered at the Royal Festival Hall (Clore Ballroom) on 3rd December and tour to galleries and festivals across the world through 2009.

Johnnie Walker @ Twin's Porto

Last friday took place the Johnnie Walker party at Twin's, in Porto.

After a very cool concert from the spanish jazzy bigband No Reply, Jurgen (Jazzanova), together with MC Clara Hill, took control of the DJ booth in a very beatdriven and whisky-filled pleasant night.

Some shots from the visuals prepared for the 50' plasmas inside the MUPI stands...

Water projection @ Dior Homme Sport party

Videomorphose did the visuals at the launch party for the new Christian Dior Homme Sport perfume.

Full of VIPs and beautiful people, the balcony of the Portugal Pavillion had a great view to the water installation prepared especially for the event by Desafio Global.

Together with the Dior brand and Jude Law's official perfumes' ad, I had the chance to prepare and show other stuff I wanted to try out on this great projection support.
With a water continuous spray of 22m wide and almost 10m high, the 15.000L rear-projector showed a great contrast with vivid colors and black background.

The groovy lounge sound was also great, with friend DJ M_Dusa on the booth.

Giant projection @ SSIEM Annual Symposium

Sept 3, Lisboa welcomed more than 1.500 people from all over the world in a 3 day Symposium for the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism.


On the second night the organisation offered a typical portugusese dinner in the gardens of the Electricity Museum, in front of the Tejo river. I prepared for the event some animated illustrations of portuguese icons, among other footage. Together with DJ Mary B and sax player Ottis, two giant projections were setup...
