CINEMATIC DERIVES

Coordinator: Laurent Carlier aka Neologos (FR)

From the theater of shadows to the live soundtrack for the early movies, from video art to VJing, from performance to networked laptop performance, today on a stage virtually augmented scenery and bodies assault our perception, flood our eyes and our ears to narrate stories, memories and fragments of reality, or rather, what we believe reality is.

In this technological and social advance modalities of audiovisual expression have been extended, mixed, soiled. For this reason we believe that the term live cinema is no longer able to represent all the possibilities of visual and sonic creation and narration that coexist in the art scene today.

How do we define an authentic conception of a rich audiovisual experience in the light of the extreme futility of everyday perceptive experience? How can we re-encode the values and contents to expand the perceptual experience of the public?

LPM 2011 is looking for audiovisual projects that critically explore the audiovisual language, works performed live showing an experimental narrative approach, projects in continual tension between cognitive experience and performance act.
