Audiovisual performance in Cinema Oblo, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Information Waterfall gives sight and sound to information/media flow within so-called postindustrial societies and their mythological conception of multiconnected human interface and it’s correlated “non apparent side”: Control and surveliance of telecommunications (semantic intelligence decoding etc.).

Technically sound and image are driven by the other through real time signal processing.

Basically the idea is to show both sides of the same (images) as projections and as traces of light in space. This automatically created a kind of 3D spectacle but without large additions of high tech but more ingenuity. Freely inspired by film and installation works of Anthony McCall.

Tour started in Kansai, Osaka Area followed then by a spring in China 8Hong Kong and Mainland China) with a few diferent dates and some exclusive colaborations (a unique colaboration with action painter and butoh dancer Ikko Taniuchi, whole recording in a previous post). 23N! played alternatively two sets one with an analog tv called Tv Bug ( with a synth of its own conception with light sensors and some kind of feedback), Nikola played his regular set with feedback processing and I played most often with video feedback and video glitching. Two weeks of noise, dragging luggage every day, the eternal question of whom plays first and a lot of very nice people (Thanks to everyone and especially to 23N! and Niko to taking me with them).

Part 1: Kansai (JP)->Hong Kong.

Part 2: Mainland China (to come) Thanks to 23N! for this tedious work of compilation….
