Visualist Night #2
what does a VJ even do? Let's flip the script on Visual Artists and as a community put us at the top of the flyer.
This is an on-going showcase and event series for all Live VJ's as well as Digital Artists across Animation, AI, and Interactive (Touch Designer Etc). as well as Curated Sync Clip Editors to explore collaboration and new formats for Visual first A/V nights.
This is primarily for artists, musicians and super fans of A/V Visual Art that are interested in actively helping produce future events and pioineer new show formats here at tiat and in th general Bay Area with a Visual First approach.
The nights programming will fall into 3 categories:
1) Two 15 minute artist's spotlights with Q&A (names coming soon)
2) One 15 minute hands on live demo on a narrow but particular usecase from one of the showcased artists practice ie midi mapping to touch pad for resolume, after effects animation layers/setup, audio reactive setup from touch designer to abelton etc., Notch, Madmapper, and other tools.
3) NDI Jamming: Where we collectively R&D a new visual jazzlike collaborative "battle" format. We will discover the most fun and engaging ways in which multiple artists can co-create and take turns live by seeing eachother's compositions as sources. We see this as both a mixture of "battling and collabing" across a diversity of styles and genres of music and visual aesthetics.
The goal of this group is to find a broadly inclusive, fun and artistically ground breaking A/V format for 100-200 person shows in the near future where we can showcase a diversity of styles while maintaining a curated trajectory to a show that is thematically, sonically and visually coherent.
all proceeds will go to supplied cold drinks/snacks and raising money for Tiat.place's long term sustainability.
Contribute more if you are able to. This gallery and event space for the intersection of art and technology (tiat) is really special but needs your support to thrive!
