One of the first artists to investigate the relations between music and imagery was Kandinski. He explored how different shapes and colours relate to each other by communicating different movements to the viewer. Same as different notes, rhythm and music patterns relate to our inner soul, triggering different emotional movements.
The Japanese artist (currently living in Berlin) features an interesting background of music composition, computer programming and multimedia art. Arai’s generative art is highly complex and goes beyond the audiovisual genre. It takes on a profound reflection around the universe and its structure based on vibrations, as advocated by the theoretical framework of the string theory.
The result is an audiovisual duet between human and machine with the two elements constantly learning from each other in his ever-evolving investigation. Ultimately, Tatsuru uses the sound and its visualization as a key to make experience of the nature of the universe, even if just a small part of it.

Immersive installations, interactive artwork and live performance communicate complex statements through sensorial experience, giving us the chance to digest information slowly, at our own pace. Generative art as an antidote to the overwhelming data dump we experience everyday.
Due to the uncertainty of in-person attendance, the organizers are planning the audiovisual event through virtual platforms. It will be therefore accessible to a wider audience through the experimental use of new technologies.
Patchlab will present art projects online and via AR (augmented reality). There will be experimental computer animations presented in the virtual cinema, remotely accessible workshops and also a dystopian multi-person computer game allowing the exploration of a post-apocalyptic New York. There will also be AV NIGHT, during which we will see unique audiovisual projects in 360° format.
All audiovisual artists are invited to submit their project proposals for this year’s program to be implemented online in an unexpected way.
Proposals can only be submitted via the online form.

With Vuo 2.1, you can now stream video over the internet. We've given Vuo Community Edition the ability to send RTMP video and audio (so you can stream to services like YouTube, Facebook Live, or Twitch). In Vuo Pro, we've added new nodes to send and receive NewTek NDI® video streams. With the increased prominence of live streaming these days, we feel these new features pair well with Vuo’s extensive graphic abilities, so you can imagine, and then broadcast, one-of-a-kind visuals.
Read on for the release highlights, using Vuo to enhance broadcast streaming, and a Community Spotlight on visions of deep space.
The most curious thing about this from a visual artist’s point of view is the fact that they have turned traditional VJ and music video culture on its head – rather than the visual artist creating content based on sound, they’ve taken a more soundtrack approach to the project.
The visual artist creates a 10 second loop, which the Onomatopoeia team turn into 30 seconds and THEN pass them on to a sound artist for the mini projects to be completed. The result? A quarterly webzine of 10-15 audiovisual collaborations and a lot of fun and inspiration.
They’e just launched their first edition (6th July) with a great mix of 12 artists’ collaborations. It’s really curious way to discover new visual and sound artists, and warning, it’s quite addictive. Maybe it’s just me, but I certainly can see and hear the difference of the sound being created after the visual… can you?
Here are my faves from this month’s edition:
Check out the first edition and let us know your thoughts, and get in touch with them if you’d like to participate and have some fun, whilst meeting new artists!

Vj Suave audiovisual live stories are called “Suaveciclos”. They make use of Tagtool, an app for tablet allowing drawings in real time.
These itinerant projection mappings are colorful, imaginative and highly engaging. Kids absolutely love them as they perceive immediately the drawings are made specifically for them to play with.
It’s very hard not being immediately charmed by their delicately funny audiovisual storytelling. And there is no reason to resist! Their communication with the audience is honest, inspiring and most importantly inclusive: none is left out in this projection mapping extravaganza.
The viewer is invited to find their own inner harmony with the sounds and visual elements of the forest in order to become unified with the surrounding environment. The result is an unique experience with plenty of food for thoughts to be snacked upon.
As we often advocate the meaningfulness of the artistic experience depends on the artist intent more than on the tool that is being used.

L’institut Fraunhofer en partenariat avec Sony, Microsoft, Intel, Qualcom, Ericson, Huawei, ont travaillé 3 ans sur la nouvelle norme du codec vidéo H.266/VVC (Versatile Video Coding) capable de diviser par 2 le poids d’une vidéo en gardant un bon rapport qualité/poids.
Une réduction de taille face au H.265/HEVC avec un algorithme de compression améliorée, adaptée au format panoramique, à la HDR, au 360°, à la 4K et 8K allant jusqu’aux 16K et un taux de rafraîchissement variable jusqu’à 120 Hz.
Le H.266/VVC fait partie de cette nouvelle génération de codec vidéo tout comme le codec AV1 qui à la différence du H.266/VVC est libre de droits. Maintenant il faut attendre l’automne prochain pour la première version du codec et le déploiement pour les éditeurs de logiciels et les fabricants de puces.

Le VidéoMapping est une expérience visuelle projetée sur des volumes, c’est une transformation d’un objet réel par le virtuel, poussé un trompe l’œil animé anamorphosé en esthétique d’illusion d’optique narrative et sensitive.
Le concept de spectacle homme-machine oriente le spectacle vivant vers une transformation temporelle augmentée en temps réel grâce à la vidéo. Le VidéoMapping permet de créer des multivers graphiques audiovisuels ou le spectateur est au cœur de l’œuvre projetée.
LeCollagiste propose des formations professionnelles sur le VidéoMapping avec les logiciels Millumin (formateur officiel) ou Resolume Arena. Elles sont organisées toute l’année en présentiel ou à distance (scénario de formation à distance avec un flux de travail audiovisuel immersif en vidéo par IP). Gestion de projet VidéoMapping, les codecs vidéo, les formats vidéo, les connectiques, la vidéo par IP mise en place des NDI Tools, le contenue génératif audioréactif seront abordés durant les sessions.
Les formations sont accessibles aux salariés d’entreprise culturelle, aux artistes auteurs (MDA, AGESSA) aux intermittents du spectacle : infographistes, techniciens et régisseurs vidéo, lumière et son, metteurs en scène, réalisateurs, monteurs, scénographes, chorégraphes, designers, architectes …
Les formations VidéoMapping sont éligibles au CPF ou AFDAS en groupe de 6 personnes max sur une période de 5 jours en continu, toute l’année.

When artists are free to work on the concept as they are on the technical implementation, they deliver a much more powerful and meaningful experience to the viewer.
Steve Gerges began to take an interest in Digital Art in 2000 when he created Visual-Delight, the first collective of VJ’s (visual-jockeys) in Luxembourg. This project allowed him to take his first steps in this innovative art form for that time.
Following a trip to Montreal to the Elektra Festival in 2012, he created his first interactive digital artwork entitled LAN 1.0 at the Carré Rotondes in 2014. Here a few projects we felt best showcased his main features as an audiovisual artist.
ONE is a generative art sculpture that develops in real time. The audiovisual totem grows and evolves while progressively revealing its organic essence to the viewer.
One tells us the story of the creation of the universe, from the big bang, to energy flows, creation of planets and humankind.
Steve Gerges
We love this amazing kinetic sculpture that exploits the use of machine programming. Light is the main course of this audiovisual feast. An ethereal force that contours the surrounding space in a beautiful ephemeral moment.
This is an immersive and impressive projection mapping representing the creation of the universe, a recurring them in Steve Gerges work. The audiovisual storytelling features abstract patterns slowly turning into figurative elements.
The viewers is invited to reflect upon the strive of mankind to understand and explore the unattainable complexity of the universe.

Ars Electronica features a wide variety of activities every year: Symposia, exhibitions, performances, concerts and interventions spanning a broad arc from speculative futuristic scenarios to analytical considerations, from provocative actionism to philosophical debate.
Combining amazing artworks with fruitful conversations is the perfect recipe to create a meaningful experience that constantly scans the new media landscape to find the most inspiring projects. The projects are not simply chosen based on their technical realization but most importantly because the social and artistic innovation they incorporate.
The result of this consistent endeavour is the creation of a loyal community of audiovisual artists, researchers and visitors from all over the world that every year reunites in Linz to inspire and get inspired.
Since its inception, the festival has been dedicated to develop new themes for each edition and the organizers are also constantly on the lookout for interesting new venues.
Indeed, the ongoing effort to break out of the narrow confines of conventional conference rooms and artistic spaces, and to stage cultural and scientific encounters in the public sphere has become something of an Ars Electronica trademark.
Stay tuned: Ars Electronica 2020 theme will be released soon!

The audiovisual installation will be recorded and publicly presented online as the culmination of the residence. Later on, when audiovisual events will kick back on the projects will be actually presented in the 360° Gallery with participation of the audience.
The 360° Gallery features a mind-boggling set up with 10 projectors displaying images with 16910×1080 pixels resolution. That opens up immense creative opportunities to generate a fully immersive environment.
During the 31-day #home edition residence, between 15/09/2020 – 18/10/2020, the selected audiovisual artists (or artistic groups) are going to work in their home or studio on their own audiovisual project.
The selected artists will have remote contact with the organizational and technical team and co-residents, as well as the possibility of conducting 2 remote attempts to display the work on the projection system in the 360° Gallery in order to check the accuracy and allow for possible corrections.
The following criteria will be taken into account in the selection of the winning projects:

Light based minimalistic blade-runner-esque visuals that will make you feel retro futuristic, with everything from lasers to LED totems and 3D structures in the portfolio bag, all with a dash of Resolume control.
No messing about, this studio based in London have done whopping great visual productions for the likes of Coachella, Boomtown and The Human League (for those of you who are old enough to know who they are).
Interesting looking 3D abstract visuals that look like candy cane, sweet enough to hang off your Christmas tree. If you’re into 3D animation, mapping, photogrammetry, and art in general then Enjoy the Kaos should definitely be an audiovisual show on your AV hit-list.
Immersive tour visuals for Adam Beyer, and for Booka Shade, what’s not to inspire any keen audiovisual festival goer? Primarily focused on content creation, blinkinLAB is a motion graphics design studio based in London.

Dans la jungle des codecs vidéo, 2 codecs sortent du lot pour la vidéo live.
Le Codec propriétaire gratuit de Resolume, le DXV possède son propre encoder avec Resolume Alley qui fait à la fois office de viewer et d’encoder. Resolume Alley propose 4 formats d’encodage, le DXV Normal Quality, No Alpha ; DXV Normal Quality, With Alpha ; DXV High Quality, No Alpha et le DXV High Quality, With Alpha. Il permet aussi la création d’une file d’attente pour un traitement par lot, a faire travailler la nuit quand on a 2 pétaoctets de vidéos, la conversion d’une suite d’images, une mise à l’échelle en remplissage, ajustement ou étirement. Alley permet de convertir l’audio en PCM linéaire. Le codec DXV est encapsulé dans un MOV et n’a pas besoin de Quicktime pour coder les fichiers DXV dans un conteneur .mov. Encodage sur GPU.
Applications vidéo intégrant le DXV : Resolume
Le codec open source HAP quant à lui utilisera son encoder maison le AVF Batch Encoder par les créateurs du codec HAP, Vidvox. C’est un outil de transcodage simple, il gère le traitement par lot
IL y a quatre versions différentes du HAP:
le HAP, HAP Alpha, HAP Q et le HAP Q Alpha. Ce convertisseur fonctionne exclusivement sur mac. Le codec HAP est encapsulé dans un MOV, encodage sur GPU.
Jokyo HAP Encoder est un nouveau dans la place des transcodeurs vidéo, il apporte une optimisation de l’encodage au format HAP et un temps de rendu raisonnable surtout en haute définition avec un rapport de qualité/vitesse optimisé. Le plugin pour After Effects compatible Win/Mac est à 75€, le plugin pour Media Encoder et Premiere Pro est à 75€ et pour finir le bundle comprenant les 2 plugs, Jokyo HAP Ae Encoder avec le Jokyo HAP Me Encoder est à 99€.
AfterCodecs est une solution payante (89€) pour encoder vos vidéos directement dans After Effects, en installant ce plug vous installez aussi certains codecs manquant comme le H.264, H.265, les 4 codecs HAP, tention quand même, le ProRes 4444 avec couche alpha n’est pas le codec officiel en version light.
Applications vidéo intégrant le HAP en natif : CoGe, Isadora, GrandVJ, MadMapper, Millumin, Mitti, MixEmergency, ModuloPi, Notch, Qlab, Smode, TouchDesigner, VDMX, VVVV, Pandoras Box, Disguise, Watchout, grandMA2, Green Hippo, OpenFrameworks, Unity3D, Unreal Engine et VUO.
Un encodeur exotique pour du HAP ou du DXV, faite signe.
