FIBER festival, Saturday March 24, 2012 – Sharing Signals
Audiovisual network festival FIBER shares knowledge, art, visuals, music & interaction
The festival invites young talent, established artists and curious visitors to meet, showcase and share their views, expertise, enthusiasm and experience. The programme - one day and one night - reflects a sincere passion for deep electronic sounds, innovative visuals and the power of network environments, connections established by fiberglass. Besides the immersive relation between image and sound, the addictive power of new media technology enhances the festival experience as a whole.
Same as last year, the festival is divided into three parts; EXPO, DAY and NIGHT. EXPO is the continuous exhibition with installations and performance elements. The DAY programme features installations, lectures/presentations, and performances. NIGHT is the club night with integrated visual performances and electronic music brought by DJ’s and live acts.
DAY
The DAY programme consists of a series of live performances by upcoming artists like Urkelle (contollerism / live music set), Bardo Frings (live cinema), Mariska de Groot (light av-performance) and Berlin-based Kyson (live music set) and DJ sets by DJ Jorg.
Next to this, there will be short showcases of data projects by Show Me The Data, Driply, Lifelog and 1€perminutedesign. Cornelis Serveert will present their edible light installation, consisting out of 800 pieces of cake! Also during DAY there are a workshop programme (openFrameworks, Max/MSP/Jitter and Video Mapping) and a central lecture/artist talk by Zesbaans and Josué Ibáñez.
EXPO
This years’ EXPO connects with the festival theme 'Sharing Signals' and presents a series of works based on the sharing or translating of diverse analogue and digital signals. Enjoy YEARS, a record-player that plays slices of wood instead of vinyl, listen to ‘_in:still Life’ , which translates drops of water into sound, capture images from around the festival with ‘Elapse’ by Arne Boon and sit-back to watch a continuous video gallery co-curated by Mexican interaction designer Josué Ibáñez.
Other acts to be seen at the EXPO are:
'Smoke Pong' by Lieven van Velthoven (interactive game/installation)
'In Order to Control' by Nota Bene visual (Istanbul) (interactive typographic installation)
'Buchstabengetwitter' by Letters Are My Friends (generative typography project)
'Innovates' by Konstruktive (video mapping installation)
'The Form of Sorting Algorithms' by Onformative (experimental artwork / software)
'Form Follows Music' (graphic design, visualisation)
'Ambisonic Flightcase' by Jeffrey van Oers (installation)
'Interrupt' by Erik Overmeire (interactive installation)
'Cube Bender' by Krista van der Wilk (space specific video projection)
NIGHT
The NIGHT programme will kick off with a live AV performance by V4W.ENKO, followed by a music line-up with a mix of established artists and fresh talents: Lebanese Morphosis (Morphine Records), Rotterdam based Frustrated Funk figure Klen and the upcoming collective ESHU from Nijmegen, next to Dubberdink (FIBER) and Mattikk (Nachtwerk, Amsterdam). Visuals will be provided by FIBER’s resident visual collective DEFRAME, who will team up with WERC for this occasion.
New to the festival is the Databooth; an ongoing experiment which tries to capture different types of signals, visualises them, and makes them available in packages for everyone to use. It enables the audience - present and remote - to participate and translate themselves into an artistically present entity.
Festival theme
The second edition of FIBER Festival carries the theme “Sharing Signals; enacting the in-between”, an open approach of the sharing of knowledge and creating collaboratively. With this approach, different disciplines collide, borders between audience and artists fade, ideas develop and new perspectives and experiences emerge. On this basis FIBER hopes to create new views, establish new connections and develop new grounds for future projects.
