heutzutage ist alles gesagt alles vermarktet alles verkauft.
soni riot hat dem nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.

soni riot spricht nicht.
soni riot rechtfertigt sich nicht.

soni riot ist die rache an der popkultur.

soni riot ist
eine audiovisuelle live-performance
zwischen bildkontamination und musikprostitution.

The idea of this workshop is to show some techniques to create an interesting hi-quality seamless vj-loop, using 3d studio max and After effects, and without having that static 3d feel, and some techniques to be able to fully re-style your in after effects. The techniques showed in 3d studio max will be so common that they can be applied into any other 3d package, so it isn’t 3d studio max specific..

I’ will show how to create a simple animated texture in aftereffects (Using masks and type effects or whatever to create an interesting looking texture) — I’ll bring a pre-rendered texture, so we don’t have to wait for rendering at the workshop — then create an object in 3d and applies the animated texture, and animates the camera. (Using path’s to create camera animation and lofting to create an array of cables where the camera flights trough,  And some essential things to make the loop seamless)

After setting up camera’s and some lightning I’ll show how to render out the animation in separate elements.  (Showing techniques how to render your animation into different elements, explaining what it’s for and how to set them up,  Also give additional information how to do this in other 3d programs via another way of approach..
– I’ll bring pre-rendered image sequences for every element so we don’t have to wait –

Back into after effects ill shows how to create 2 completely different visual styles using the rendered elements.  (Here ill show how everything gets fused into each other using the separate elements and some effects to spice it up.
– Iíll bring my after effects project and the 2 final rendered loops –

Suggesting emotions in public spaces is a challenge where we feel comfortable unmasking ourselves.
The expression of the videomorphose.com collective is depicted through the motivation of crossing several visual languages and self influences within a single channel with a different broadcast that of the music’s dialogue.
The projected image/light proposes an interaction with the body of the spectator on one hand, and the architecture of the space in the other, touching textures from skin to concrete while attempting to avoid the screen as a projection surface.
Symbiosis between real and digital video, people and vectors, colours and contrast, message and form.
The unity in the difference. The advantage of the collective.

Biography

The project videomorphose.com was founded by Luis Cardoso and z_Nuno Sampaio.
The first owns an interactive media agency in Lisbon and is a VJ since 2003.
Z_Nuno is a performance lightning technician and also a video lover and a VJ. The two gathered at the end of 2004 and decided to explore the best of both skills, namely flash and vector animation from Luis together with 9mm film footages and video composition from Z_Nuno.
Since then, videomorphose.com has been doing VJ in Lisbon’s night scene with success and is currently organising the first VJ Festival in Portugal to take place in 2006.
Currently the project is running alone with Luis Cardoso, As zNuno is in Sweden.
We have also organised this November the Numero-Projecta’06- International Festival of Multimedia Arts, Cinema and Music, the first big evenmt ever to take place in Portugal dedicated to VJing, with over 50 VJs, 30 DJs, 22 video-artists, 18 multimedia concerts, 8 workshops, 5 masterclasses and over 2.500 children attending experimental Cinema sessions.

As the most anonymous VJ of all times, Nicolas Bourbaki owns more passports than Jason Bourne and has more faces than Simon Templar. The only constant thing about the collective entity Bourbaki is his visual work. Part French mathematician, part German graphic designer, Nicolas believes only in the logic of the groove and his ultimate strength in numbers – only one of many reasons why you might find yourself looking for him one night and meet him working three parties in three different cities at the same time. Check out more facts and showdates at www.nicolas-bourbaki.de.

If structures are the weapons of mathematicians, Nicolas Bourbaki comes in guns blazing. Similar to a Russian doll, every structure reveals another structure within the Bourbaki idea. The small gang of VJs takes its name from a group of mathematicians that gathered under the same pseudonym in the 1930’s. Back then as well as today the nome-de-plumes Bourbaki was adopted as a joke. The names of its members are mostly unknown and their numbers change constantly. This relatively high degree of anonymity is one of the gang’s trademarks and helps keeping it in a continuous flow of creativity.

VJ-ing Bourbaki style usually means working with two computers and a video mixer. All films are pre-produced by the multiple Bourbaki entities in Flash format usually used for designing websites. The Flashmixer tool (www.flashmixer.de) developed by friends of the group enables them to mix all clips live and in realtime on the floor – this spontaneity strongly defines their visual style. According to the Bourbakis there are no limits to what a video projector can do in a club setting. The possibility to work border free and the reason that it is technologically the easiest way to emulate the look of disco lighting made it the Bourbaki weapon of choice.

info zur zusammenarbeit:

mit audiomotel hat nicolas bourbaki bereits bei VIDEOSCAPE (eine interaktive installation zur luminale in FFM) zusammengearbeitet. das letzte gemeinsame projekt wurde beim offenburger projekt sensorama (http://www.projektionsareal.de/sensorama/) eingereicht.

durch den trocken minimalen sound der zu diesem event gespielt werden wird, wird auch bourbaki wieder zu seinen klassischen wurzeln zurueckkehren und die gute alte schule zelebrieren.

rock on!

Klangtausch has been fascinated by experimental music - and video footage since his early days, so it was a desideratum to him to explore spontaneous visual samples in various ways.
Being attentive to his surrounding of nature and urbanism with open senses he found transformation of forms in huge multiplicity.

Wherever the event takes place conventional boundaries have to shift - mode offset.
Unplanned and intuitive motions are typical for that field.
He uses both software and hardware tools. Used content: movie clips, photos, graphics, as well as flash based 2D and 3D animations.
The animations are variable, depending on the audience or the event. Rough, dreamful, intense, even meditative. But visuals are subjective to the observer.

Certainly, visual content needs music to make sense. This symbiosis of eyes and ears completes the impression.
Visuals give Klangtausch the possibility to express his individual interpretation of feelings in music through a modification of tired, everyday viewed pictures into something unique and different.

Berlingrad (formerly VJ Monk) mainly played in Berlin and its sourrounding area. Since one year as he was living in Edinburgh he imported the Berlin-Style of Videomixing into the Scottish Dance and Electro-Scene, especially in Edinburghs only real underground club “Cabaret Voltaire”. And not just music events are his favoured field of work - projections at exhibitions, artgalleries and churches belong to his repertoire.

Zuvor bestimmten Apuarelle, Tusche und Architektur Konstruktionen seinen berufliches Leben.
Als visuell Kreativer entdeckte Jorgk seine Vorliebe fuer die Kamera und Film. Nun entwickelte sich aus dem geschulten Auge für Konstrukte und der visuellen Leidenschaft eine aussergewoehnliche Symbiose: der “Architekturvisualist”.
Von sphaerischen Klaengen bis hin zu schnellen elektronischen Beats gelingt es VJ Jorgk mit seiner crossmedialen Auswahl an Videoclips die gewuenschte Atmosphaere zu erzeugen. Durch die Verbindung klarer technischer Konturen mit organischer Weichheit zieht er die Teilnehmer eines Event oder einer Praesentation in seinen Bann. Seine Visuals sind von kraeftigen Farben gepraegt, grafic-art und comic-art dominieren.

Dear visualists,

AVIT->C23 FORUM OPENED

we really encourage you to use our newly set up FORUM for managing and organising ride sharing routes from your home town to Berlin. Ask for free seats if you need a ride. Offer free seats if you travel by car, etc.

We support this type of travel, since it will be cheaper for you and us and we will support such effort with paying for gasoline (receipt required).

Also if you want to stay together with other artists in the same hostel room or other type of accomodation, this is the right place to manage things like that.

Besides the thread “Travelling to Berlin” described above, there are also “Workshops & Lectures” where you can find co-educators to help you with your talk, discuss any submitted topics or use it for any other exchange of information on our educational programme.

The thread “Meeting Point” is open for anything else! Feel free to use our forum any way you like it.

SHARING OUR TOYS

We know it’s always a big problem to bring all the desired gadgets, computers and cables to a far away venue without sweating and getting back- and headache. At the end everyone realizes that all of a sudden there are dozens of mixers and monitors available and you ask yourself why you had to bring your own. If you want to take the opportunity of borrowing technology which we can provide to you and you have toys yourself, which you are willing to share with other participating artists, we are trying to collect a database of things to offer to you for using, like V4 mixers, computers, monitors, beamers, DVD recorders, etc.

So if you have technology which you bring to Berlin anyways and which you can share with others, please send a list of these things to us and once the list is complete we can send it back to you, so you can borrow other things yourself. Send to tech@visualberlin.org

visual greetings,

your AVIT->C23 team
