INiT Live 0h9 – video

A common misconception about Live Cinema is that it destroys the party, or its just for artists or its extremely experimental. That is as far from the truth as it can be – Live Cinema is enhancing a good party – the better the party – the more energy flows – the better the visual performance. Part of Live Cinema theory is about how to transmit a story without destroying the atmosphere how to blend it in and still communicate its message. INiT´s focus is on creating an atmosphere and environment where energy can flow and everybody can have a good time together to create the magic moments where everything just comes together perfectly. For that to happen nothing can stand out on its own – it all has to blend in together, work together and be together – visual, audio and audience. So while INiT will be a showcase for great visual art the focus is also to create a great party so everybody has a great time.

Live Cinema – Media (R)evolution
Live Cinema is the attempt at an amalgamation of the semantics and sociology in cinema and vj culture. It is also happening, performance art, concert and ritual. It is closest to the artform of our earliest ancestors and their cave paintings. It connects the shamanistic ritual with the modern rock concert as well as the club night with the cinematic experience. It unites and satisfies the main senses, creates energy and feelings.
Live Cinema has the potential to bring the campfire with its storyteller, his audience and his visions for a better future funded in the experience of the past to the digital information age.
There is still a long way ahead to reach that utopian dream – that Gesammtkunstwerk. Events like InitLive & AViT help bring artists together to wander the path with all its winding curves, splitting forks, dead ends and great heights – the path that might lead us to that perfect democratic unification of media and art, message and entertainment, real life and digital worlds.
Lets explore what we have to offer to each other and the world and (r)evolutionize art and media in the process – get INIT. -

Supported by AViT – the World Wide VJ Network
I am proud to announce that InitLive is now officially supported by the AViT network. AViT is a movement to further VJ practices. Its history goes back to 2002 when the AViT festival happened in Leeds/UK – for the first time bringing together VJs from around the world to collaborate and share ideas and knowledge and show their work. From then on the festival spread over the world with events in Germany and the US to follow. In the meantime it matured in the UK to a highly organized event with public funding culminating in the AViT Birmingham in 2005. Trademark disputes and shakeups in the group led to a rethink of strategy for AViT thereafter and a group of dedicated organizers from around the world who have been involved with either AViT or their own events have now formed an organization that is bend on furthering the VJ art form by giving logistic and networking support to big and small local VJ festivals around the world that share their vision of participation, collaboration and sharing knowledge.
A new website that will hosts events, knowledge and interviews with vjs held at the festivals (vjtalks) will be launched very soon. The European devision of AViT is also in the process of forming a very official trans-european organization.
The website can be reached soon at http://avit.info.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM
The rays of the moon seemed to search the very bottom of the profound gulf: but still I could make out nothing distinctly on account of a thick mist in which everything there was enveloped, and over which there hung a magnificent rainbow, like that narrow and tottering bridge which Mussulmans says is the only pathway between Time and Eternity.
- Edgar Allan Poe (A Descent Into The Maelstrom)

GESAMTKUNSTWERK
A gesamtkunstwerk (often translated as universal artwork, synthesis of the arts, comprehensive artwork, all-embracing art form, total work of art, or total artwork) is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms or strives to do so. The term is originally German and is commonly used as such in English, but it is often also translated or explained at first mention. It is often capitalised as in German, where all nouns are capitalised, but it is always lowercased when used with an English plural (“gesamtkunstwerks”). The term was first used by the German writer and philosopher Eusebius Trahndorff in an essay in 1827. The German opera composer Richard Wagner first used the term in his 1849 essay Art and Revolution.

ASCENT INTO THE MAELSTROM
…Amidst the song of resourceful muse – infinity altered course to recall that…
In the beginning, there had always been that which had gone before… An ever replenishing amount of creation from destruction – green grown from the nutrients of biology gone by, trees over tombs, a phoenix from the fire – conjured up by the will… the meditations of man, the ceaseless and inexhaustible curiosity for more… something more… clasping and coupling and caressing Invention – the mother of all necessities.
And so… one and all of the courageous coerced their inner most fears to meet their maker, overwhelm the unknown and collaborate with the creator…

i thought, i will start by sharing some of my work direction, with the hope to start some interesting dialogue – INIT YOU ROCK!!!,
Illusion of space- a relationship beyond passiveness, a new form, finding ways to connect with the “self”, deconstruct the process of viewing sound, visual and space. this is what excites me, my present direction is to create local/remote participatory, multiplatform interactive and visual experiences. I love to bring together art, technology and cultural in an odd configuration and stretch our perceptions towards architectural spaces, surveillance and communication devices and social interactivity in today’s hybrid urban cultures.
life took me to these place to meet lovely people and share my work- India, Pakistan, Montreal, Toronto and Bangladesh.http://strongandfree.ca/clients/STIR/STIR_Edit1_Mike%20_Simpson.mov

One of the most re-energizing elements for me is the continuing pursuit… to make and remake – “répétition” as the French might say. Within this meditation lies great freedom and exciting discoveries when creating. I believe an attentive attention to the audience is required. They are an essential part of it – it’s all part of it (Gesamtkunstwerk). An experience is being shared with very powerful, innovative and captivating tools. There is incredible potential for an extremely moving exchange of story /experience / energy… at every moment. Live Cinema seems to embrace this better than any other form.
Something important is happening here…
