  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.
