"Circo Ipnotico" by Otolab [
Amsterdam]
Otolab’s Circo Ipnotico - Audiovisual Improvised Session :: February 23, 2008 :: Paradiso (Amsterdam) :: Part of Sonic Acts XII - The Cinematic Experience.
Circo Ipnotico is an audiovisual improvised session with an open performer lineup. The score is given by dub architectures made by a crossing work of synths and laptops. The audiovisual journey evolves from here and the performers (from 3 to 6) use very different tools: from Girello, a rotating support supplied with different surfaces featuring shapes, colours and materials which are modified in real time using paint, to Pepposcopio a Moduli Digitali, to software interventions by other performers.
Otolab is an Italian collective of musicians, djs, vjs, video artists, video makers, web designers, graphic designers and architects who embarked on a common path within electronic music and audiovisual research. Otolab projects evolve through laboratory, seminar and live-set activities following principles of mutual exchange and support, free dissemination of knowledge and experimentation. The work-group is composed of individual and collective projects ranging from dj-ing/vj-ing sets up to live media and interactive installations, always investigating a symbiotic relationship between sounds and images. These three years of life have seen Otolab being invited to national and international festivals where it has presented its live sets, project presentations and installations, besides having promoted self-managed cultural initiatives. Otolab is today a cultural association which lives off its self-produced livesets, installations, audio and audiovisual productions. http://www.vimeo.com/tag:otolab.
