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.
