AVXLab 2021 Lugar in>Comum Festival

Collective Visual Interventions work for the Afrotopia MixTape performance at the AVXLab 2021 Lugar in>Comum Festival.

The programming of the AVXLab 2021 Lugar in>Comum Festival took place over two weeks between May and June, presenting a program composed of debates, exhibitions and performances that cross different fields of knowledge - cinema, architecture, visual arts, technology - to think about the public place and the collectivity from the expanded audiovisual.

This edition was divided into four axes: Live and recorded audiovisual performance; Seminar, with three roundtables); Exhibition, with four shows and more than 15 artists/collectives involved; and the one from Interviews, which deal with themes that challenge our limit of understanding of the moving image.

// PERFORMANCE
From opening to closing, performances add surprise and adrenaline to the Festival. With live performances and recorded interventions in different formats, the axis works as a box for physical-digital experiments, testing borders and languages.

X-JAM IMAGINANTS:
To close the festival, there were three performances and collective visual interventions.

For this work I have used a Maxmsp Jitter patch creating generative audio reactive visual effects from the music input live in pre-edited video.
