Contemporary Revolution 2.0 audio-visual performance project by Pulpit Pimps, is a site-specific, audio visual, international, synchronized, collaborative, performance experience, incorporating design, music, dance, art, motion picture, visual arts, poetry & writing, AV technology, photography, opinion, humor to produce the ultimate audio-visual project.
The concept for the Contemporary Revolutions 2.0 exhibition project would focus on critically engaging with current events and contemporary society and picking up relevant and motivated, up to date topics. The participating artist will reflect and focus on interaction with the audience and Contemporary Revolution has the ambition to be a synchronized and more internationally positioned satirical concept, reviewing a worldwide climate of inflaming violence and it's obvious consequences, laid-back absorbed from a cozy armchair as presented by a large variety of conveniently censored news-broadcasts. The philosophy of the concept for this project, can be enigmatic in parts and often deliberately dark and dazzling at the same time. The concept also mostly contains a highly potent mixture of symbolism that would work as an immersion booster. A strong essence of idealism would be integrated within the artistic processes, thriving on freedom of expression, Overall the content would be developed in order to reflect an antipathy or solidarity to the particular cause as integrated within the concept. Overall the audio-visual content of this production will discharge a positive loaded energy field from a distant viewing point and will reveal the actual and opposite details only by closer examination. With the performance of a project like this, the transfer of critical views and thoughts towards the audience, to improve awareness and to promote and to stimulate an open dialogue and discussion on specific and often sensitive issues would be key issue.
During the development process of the audio-visual studio project, one of the major issues to conquer and answer has been the question, what would make this project a convincing audio-visual performance for the public. It was important that the audio-visual performance would contain a clearly defined dynamic concept and theme that we could submit to analyze strategies for optimal development of a convincing real-time performance.
An audio-visual performance containing live visual interaction with the music performed at that instance and based on simultaneous real-time interactive motion triggered projections, live video registration with direct response VJ interaction and interactive sound triggered projections. Furthermore the obvious visible appearance of the musicians with their back-line as well as the essential lightning equipment and an additional decor-building aspect integrated within the total. Additional aspects within the concept setting of this audio-visual performance would involve a dance ensemble adding on to the possibility to trigger projections. Real-time audiovisual performances are governed by a multitude of variables that include, but are not limited to, performance model, technology integration and aesthetic goals.
Playing with interactivity and motion in time and space in the colorful swirls of abstract, mathematically generated forms and in the mysterious movement of light across musical performers. Exploring the intersection of art and technology and inspired by the behavior of systems, science, nature, and music, the combination of computer code, traditional materials and future technology, brings new ideas to life. Translating these ideas to the audio-visual realm means linking sound and vision in ways that dynamically delineate cause and effect. By extrapolating intrinsic perspective and translating meaning into extrinsic constructs, both the performers and audience gain deeper insight into function and significance of not only the main theme but also the individual contributing factors that make up the performance.
By literally creating sound collages from fragments of visual art from a large variety of participating artists, the audience witnesses a perpetual climax, driven by the continuous and fluid triggering of visuals. The setup is calculated down to the smallest detail, and yet there is plenty of room for improvisation, pulling viewers inside the net and through a supersonic visual tunnel, assembled in a variety of ways, to build up simultaneously with rhythms, loops and textures creating a delightfully barrage of moods & sounds. The whole process is executed in a thoughtful and imaginative way, and with a sense of humor.
Pulpit Pimps audio-visual performance collective, presents a new kind of playfully manipulated live music and visual showcase environment. A site-specific audio-visual synchronized collaborative performance, incorporating design, music, performance, art, motion picture, visual art & technology and photography to produce the ultimate audio-visual audience experience.
