Proiect: România

A doua ediție a Romanian Visual Survey reunește unele din cele mai bune lucrări vizuale realizate în 2009 în România și de către artiști vizuali români în general. În acest an au fost selecționate lucrările a 49 de artiști vizuali activi, printre altele, în domenii precum fotografia, designul grafic, ilustrația, pictura și animația digitală. Chiar dacă este reprezentativă pentru universul vizual românesc, selecția nu este exhaustivă.

This is an excerpt from ‘I Am A Chain Reaction’ which is one of seven works that make up the dance/animation/programming hybrid project, Smashup.

Smashup is the outcome of an ongoing collaboration between artists James Paterson & Amit Pitaru ( Insertsilence ), and dancer/choreographer Dana Gingras ( Animals of Distinction, The Holy Body Tattoo ). Smashup premiered in its complete form, an hour long performance, at the Festival Transamérique in Montreal in the summer of 2008.

Others involved in I Am A Chain Reaction are:
Dancer Sarah Doucet (the other being Gingras herself).
Musician Roger Tellier-Craig (of Fly Pan Am & Godspeed You! Black Emperor) who modified the song ‘Bird’ by swedish band ‘The Knife’.
Visual artist Jeremy Felker who helped create the animated vignette that is present in the full 10 minute incarnation of the work.

The software component of I Am A Chain Reaction is projected from above and running live during the performance. This is a raw video recording from above and involves no compositing.
