If you are interested in VJ and visual music in the tradition of Oskar Fischinger, you should follow addictive TV's new festival-Optronica 14-18 March 2007 in London. This year's line-up includes the World premières of new shows from a fantastic range of artists including Fred Deakin & Nick Franglen of Lemon Jelly, prolific designer and musician Trevor Jackson, Austrian electronic music pioneer Christian Fennesz with renowned New York video artist Charles Atlas, plus the UK première of Peter Greenaway's Tulse Luper VJ performance and a special World Cinema remix set from current #1 AV artists Addictive TV. Also on the bill are Japanese audiovisual artist Ryoichi Kurokawa, the brilliant Berlin-based Rechenzentrum with a brand new AV show and the highly innovative Spanish team behind Reactable. Saturday 17th, London's ICA hosts an audiovisual club night headlined by Speedy J & Scott Pagano and, just confirmed, a rare and exclusive audiovisual set from EBN's Gardner Post and Brian Kane.
Plus screenings, installations and illustrated talks - including from Cindy Keefer from the LA based Center for Visual Music, Optronica will deliver an incredible selection of aural and visual treats for both connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
Presented as part of the PlayStation® Season, Optronica is organised by artists/producers Addictive TV and new-media curators Cinefeel and in partnership with the British Film Institute.
