Lia, Carvalhais, Tudela: 30x1

Lia and @c (Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela) are premiering the installation 30x1 at Solar, Cinematic Art Gallery in Vila do Conde, Portugal.

In the present setup 30×1 is built of a circuit of 15 screens along which 5 series of one minute audiovisual pieces are distributed. Each series is presented at least twice in the space and although different screens have limited visible coexistence, the sound projected by each screen flows through the space, mixes and shifts, along the walk through the gallery’s different rooms.

30×1 is an audiovisual composition, mechanically articulated by the shuffling of the DVD players and constructed by each visitor’s trajectory in the gallery. The installation is created using synchretic audiovisual pairs, juxtaposing audio and visual objects with diverse origins but a common integration. The tools of the trade were Processing, Max/MSP and Reaktor.

Solar is a gallery programmed by the organizers of the International Short Film Festival of Vila do Conde, a festival that yearly programs a generous selection of experimental film and video. Previous exhibitions featured Christoph Girardet, Matthias Müller, Manon de Boer and Siegfried Fruhauf.

30×1 will be showed from the 10th September to the 23rd October 2005.
