Syndicate

admin — 2012-08-28T14:30:00Z

Individually, we are rather weak when it comes to negotiating with funding bodies and governments about support for new media and electronic art projects. However, if we could join up and form something like a syndicate, then we would be able to speak with one voice when it is strategically necessary, and become more powerful than we are now.

SLP

Sofia Bustorff — 2012-03-06T14:40:00Z

The six people who make up SLP come from the groups P16D4, S.B.O.T.H.I, LLL and Selektion. All these groups originated in the 80s, and the punk movement. These groups have, since then, released a number of albums under their own name, or on the Selektion label. Selektion is more like a coordinating organisation where musicians and visuals artists come together for collaboration projects.

Nederlands / Dutch text

Hierbij experimenteren SLP met vier versterkte draaitafels. SLP diende als een soort verzamelnaam voor de bands P16.D4, S.B.O.T.H.I., LLL (video) en Selektion Optik, de overkoepelende organisatie. Selektion was ook het label waarop deze bands materiaal uitbrachten.

Dellbrügge & De Moll

admin — 2011-01-31T11:50:00Z

Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll both studied at the Academy for Visual Arts in Karlsruhe and have been collaborating since 1984. Their work focuses on questions of reception, presentation and evaluation of art. It analyses the conditions which are constitutive for art, including their own role as artists. They respond to challenges searching for the adequate media and methods for each specific situation. The smarter the question the better their answer.

La Fura Dels Baus

admin — 2012-11-13T10:00:00Z

La Fura started, in 1979, as a street theater group acting around Catalonia. Five years later, Accions (Actions) had its debut in Barcelona - and made La Fura famous. Accions showed some of the key elements of La Fura: audience interaction, site-specific adaptation of each show and the use of unusual spaces. In 1985, the piece Suz/O/Suz put La Fura on an international map. From 1990 on, the company searched for a more complex and sophisticated scenic language; and in Noun they embraced technologically advanced scenic resources.

In 1992, La Fura was commissioned to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held in Barcelona: Mediterráneo, mar olímpico made La Fura explore the possibilities of performances designed for a mass audience.
From 1996, La Fura developed various (two to four) projects at the same time under the direction of different members of the group: some for commercial, others following the La Fura aesthetics and language, here the first opera was staged.

Starting a new millenium, La Fura developed ØBS, based on Macbeth, which explored new technologies, such as 3D images and the preparation of the project via videoconferencing.

In 2001, Fausto 5.0 was the first film created by La Fura - in collaboration with Isidro Ortiz; the film won the Melies Award for best fantastical European film.

The search for new surroundings in which to perform that could be adapted to fit their aesthetic and artistic trajectory lead La Fura dels Baus, in 2004, to acquire an old cargo ship on which to construct the Naumon project. The boat, outfitted as a stage and a hub for performances, offered different scenic possibilities and sparked a series of performances, in different formats, centered around the idea of a journey, of an itinerant scenic setting.

To the day, La Fura remains as one of the most innovative companies in the operatic world: Sonntag aus Licht is premiered and performed in different spaces within the Oper Köln, and has 3D scenes. Quartett, by Luca Francesconi, is a world premiere of Teatro alla Scala, where Susanna Malkki becomes the first woman conducting the Milanese orchestra. Iannis Xenakis' Oresteia is performed in the middle of the street, at the Karlsplatz in Vienna.

Snijlab

Sofia Bustorff — 2012-10-22T13:45:00Z

Jiskar Schmitz (1986) uses his technical knowledge as mechanical engineer for the creative field. His advanced knowledge of mechatronics and elektronics are one of the pilars Snijlab.

Christian Waber (1983) has experience in Computer Aided Desing trough study and teaching at the TU Delft. He was Inspired by the combination of CNC machinery and their creatieve use. With software and design knowledge on CAD he founded Snijlab together with Jiskar Schmitz to explore the large spectrum of possibilities and potential of lasercutting.

As Snijlab, they focus on digital fabrication and online lasercutting:

"We believe that digital production should be simple, so you can spend time as a designer on the design. Snijlab therefore takes repetitive work off your hands.

Computerized cutting is at present the most interesting technique for small scale useful, usable (end) products. The simplicity of the design in 2D and the availability of powerful and beautiful materials provides a huge potential for anyone. Whether for single pieces or series, prototypes or final products, everything is simple and quick to make.

Designers and manufacturers have to mutually benefit from sharing knowledge. The power of a good product is not only a good designer or a good producer, it comes from a good combination of design, materials and production techniques."
