| Info: | RedSniper - S338 is an interdisciplinary group based in Brussels whose members include South African artist Kendell Geers and musician Patrick Codenys (Front 242). The performance submerges the audience to a orderline experience where sound and image - in the shape of a game or a duel - complete to alternately form visual poetry or sustained assaults on the senses.
Four-Wheel Drift (remix) examines urban culture through the use of a car as an interactive, experimental VJ/DJ platform. In preparation for the installation, a carequipped with audio/video recording technologies, sensors and interactive software cruises the city, analysing data and recording samples. Using VJing techniques, the movement of the car and operation of its engine are interpreted by sensors and software pathches that cause effects on the video reflecting the choices made during the drive. These video records become the visual playlist used to generate panoramas during the performance. The sounds of the drive, from the car engine, driver, passengers and stereo, are collected as a 'raw'' audio samples for the remix. During a FWD (remix) installation/performance, the recorded musical soundscape. In FWD (remix), the car is a self-contained creative recording and playback device. During the performance, the video is projected from the car installed in the space onto projection walls and the new audio remix is played back via the car's speakers. The remix is set up to play live, continuously generating new combinations for the duration of the exhibition. |
