| Syndicate: Welcome to the Digital Arena, Kassel, 12-16 July 2000 |
[sounds like a great programme ;)] Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 05:11:32 +0200 From: Digital-Arena <[email protected]> Subject: Welcome to the Digital Arena dear adressee, would you be so kind as to take notice of the following: __________________________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||| http://www.digital-arena.org Part of this years 'Rundgang' ( 'open doors') from 12th to 16th of july in the academy of fine arts in Kassel / Germany (www.khs.uni-kassel.de) is the 'digital arena'. Within this newMedia project parts of the art program like live performances, movie-premieres of the acadamies' film- and trickfilm-classes, the opening ceremonie etc. will be broadcasted worldide live in the internet. |||||||||||||||||||||||| On saturday, the 15. of july, digital arena finds its' climax in a massive new-media-event (envisioned and produced by fLeITer and candela2 of KHK), to which sound, video and light artists from several countries were invited, to work one night together mixer-in-mixer on a multi-media dancefloor and a chill-out-zone to put the expected 2000 visitors right in the center of a digital 'Gesamtkunstwerk'. doors open at 2000 hours at the School of fine Arts Kassel (Kunsthochschule Kassel) Menzelstrasse 13 34121 Kassel Germany take off is at 2100 hours with 'prototyp1', a multi-media-performance by Carsten Nicolai (documenta X, mille plateaux) |||||||||||||||||||||||| The artists (every set is performed by one DJ, one LJ and two VJ's) in the frag zone, the main arena, work around themes like 'media reflection between Make-Up and Pret-a-Porter', 'martial interpretaions of everyday phenomena', video-alchemy, multi-format-mixtures and media overload. The music style being played by the DJ's settles somewhere in techno-electronic sounds, to which the VJ's transform the light- and sound-flooded architecture with video- and computer-animations into what somebody once described as 'expanded cinema'(a cinema that appeals to all senses; with cigarrette-fumes, smoke-machines and sweating bodies in this case adding the last sensation). Part of the VJ-show in the main arena will be the projection of a modified quake3 arena match which takes place in the virtually reconstructed academy of fine arts, to which users worldwide can log in (Server IP address is 141.51.228.55 and is ready now for beta-testing; texture and map downloads are available at www.digital-arena.org). In the chill-out-zone 'blue electro' the audience has the possibilty to escape the media overload of the main arena and to relax with live on computers and diverse other electronic sound devices created minimal-electro-avantgarde-sound, atmospheric lighting, water projections and dry-ice-fountains. |||||||||||||||||||||||| the lineup sound /main arena : porter ricks (mille plateaux), dj fish (Stammheim kassel), soma load (Kassel), dj jeremias (munique), alva noto (raster noton, mille plateaux). video /main arena: candela2 (Kassel), alter fin (Amsterdam), miabe (kassel), al dorr (baltimore), olaf & catarine val (cologne), fLeITer (kassel) light FX /main arena: fLeITer, ultraschall (Kassel) sound /chill-out-zone: dj voltix (Nuernberg), alecks (Kassel) installation /chill-out-zone: kroell (cuxhaven), ultraschall (Kassel) |||||||||||||||||||||||| join the live stream now on http://www.digital-arena.org |||||||||||||||||||||||| contact: [email protected] |||||||||||||||||||||||| digital arena is a fLeITer | candela2 production __________________________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||| http://www.digital-arena.org |||||||||||||||||||||||| Teil des diesjaehrigen Rundgangs (12.-16. 07.) der Kunsthochschule Kassel (www.khs.uni-kassel.de) ist die digital arena.

Juli, 22.00 bis 06.00 Uhr, veranstaltet digital arena ein massives new-media / Art-Dancefloor-cross-over-Event (visioniert und produziert von fLeITer und candela2 / KHS Kassel), zu welchem international Sound-, Video- und Lichtkuenstler eingeladen wurden, um eine Nacht lang in zwei Arenen (ein grosser Multimedia-Dancefloor und ein Chillout) Mischer in Mischer zu arbeiten und die erwarteten 2000 Besucher in das oszillierende Zentrum eines digitalen Gesamtkunstwerkes zu ruecken.

Die Stilrichtung der DJ's findet sich irgendwo in techno-elektro-Sounds, zu denen die VJ's die sound- und lichtdurchfluteten Architektur mit Video- und Computer-Animationen in ein alle Sinne ansprechendes "expanded cinema" verwandeln. Teil der VJ-Show wird die Projektion des Geschehens in einer eigens fuer digital Arena konzipierten und bearbeiteten Quake3-Arena sein, in die sich User welteit einloggen koennen.
