Born in the heart of the VJ boom in the 90s, after their own artistic experimentation, and Michael’s first ever (what we would call now) VJ gig in 1985, Michael Denton and Anna McCrickard formed Overlap in 1998. They are based in Hastings in the UK. Unlike some VJs, who purely focus on the visual side of the art form, Overlap are a an AV collaborative duo in the purest sense of the concept, who also produce minimalist music in parallel with their exploration of both moving and still image. They’ve also performed at many a festival, forming part of a collective of VJs represented by Microchunk.
Their work takes the form of live audiovisual performances, exhibitions, transitional paintings, installations, VJ sets and even prints, and takes on audiovisual culture from a fine art perspective, which makes their work both fascinating and unique in a wide variety of different contexts.
Overlap started VJ-ing and performing AV sets as regular guests of resident VJs Reality Check at Turnmill’s club (The Gallery, London Calling) in 1998, guesting with Reality Check at The Chemical Brothers’ headline set at Turnmill’s Millenium gig in London’s Docklands. The next decade saw Overlap’s visuals splashed across screens at major international festivals including Creamfields, Andalucia, Electric Picnic Ireland, Glastonbury’s Glade stage, Pete Tong’s Wonderland in Ibiza and Glastonbury’s Glade, as part of the Microchunk visuals boutique. They created visuals for for the Industrial Resolution installation at the first Manchester International Festival: performed live on the largest indoor screen in Europe, accompanying the world’s leading DJs including Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, Layo, Pete Tong and Sasha. Overlap also played regular VJ slots at Razzmatazz (Loft), Barcelona and Pete Tong’s Wonderland, Eden, Ibiza (Deadmau5, Groove Armada). Overlap were commissioned by Microchunk to animate Damien Hirst artwork for Pete Tong’s Ushuaia at Le Grand Bazaar, Ibiza in 2013.
Overlap also work with the Noise of Art collective as resident VJ-s and moving image artists. Their fine art single screen video works have been screened at the ICA, BFI and Tate Modern. Recent projects include:- a celebration of 100 Years of Electronic Music at the National Portrait Gallery London; Forest Tree limited edition for Sedition Art; audiovisual “painting” installations for the National Trust’s Fenton House and Calke Abbey; opening the Arquiteturas Film Festival in Lisbon with their Places that Dance AV set; short films “Returning” and “Switch” awarded special mentions at the Avanca and EMAF film festivals; an audiovisual performance in the British Ambassador’s Residence in Beijing. Recent art screenings/performances of their works have included Aquatint at Riders on the Mall/ROM, MUSZI, Budapest and Digital Graffiti, Florida, Forest Tree at STRP Biennale at Strijp S in Eindhoven and Cloud Edged at Light Fantastic, House of Nobleman, Frieze.
Perhaps one of the most poignant aspects of their audiovisual artwork is its accessibility and ability to be embraced and engaging in such an extensive mixture of spaces, including performances and installations everywhere from music festivals (Creamfields, Splice festival, Madatac, Fiber, Generate, Big Chill, STRP Biennale); and night clubs (Razzamatazz, Barcelona, Wonderland – Eden, Ibiza), to prestigious galleries (Tate Modern, Pompidou, National Portrait Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum), as well as being featured in some important publications on VJ culture, such as Audio – Visual Art and VJ Culture (2006) They even remixed and VJed The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour film for its cinema première at the South Bank with Noise of Art at London’s BFI.
Their working process involves adding and removing layers, degrees of opportunism and systematised chance, creating generative combinations ranging from slow transitional paintings, to fast flowing AV performances.
Their most recent work includes Transitional Landscape, designed for exhibition and art installation, ‘Rooms’, which explores the relationship between indoors and outdoors, combining and fusing luscious wallpaper motifs with beautiful organic landscape scenes. It juxtaposes man-made life with that of the wonders of the natural world.

We couldn’t miss this retrospective exhibition about the father of Video Art and one of the main references in the history of art for Audiovisual experimentation.
More than 200 artworks ranging from TV screens, to robots, video walls and immersive installations. A must-go event meticulously curated by the Tate to give insight into the work of this game-changing artist and researcher.
The first thing that strikes in Paik’s work is his playfulness. No matter what device he uses, the outcome is always lighthearted and pervaded by a witty sense of humor.
His personal relationship with technology has always featured curiosity and optimism. In TV Garden he creates a surreal immersive environment where TV screens and plants aesthetically coexist harmoniously, although weirdly.
His attitude shows a deep connection with Buddhist philosophy. TV Buddha clearly states this. With Buddha watching the TV and watching himself at the same time, he helps us to realise that our body merges with the nature in the same way it merges with technology. One is all and all is one.
Paik embraces chaos and technology all together in his Zen driven artistic experimentation. In his Robots, wires, pins, knobs, every component is well exposed in his fascinating ironic mess. Paik’s playful approach intends to humanize technology bringing it closer to the people, easier to grasp and easier to intervene.
Paik manipulates analog technology not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a political act. His anarchist artistic experimentation counteracts the consumerism driven by the mass manipulation through the TV.
Audiovisual City top picks of Paik’s expo are undoubtedly the two spectacularly immersive installations: Video Wall and Sistine Chapel.
Video Wall is a mesmerizing live collage of multiple video feeds. It strongly communicates the instability of perception and lack of focus in the mass media world.
Our eyes restlessly bounce within the video space from one feed to the other. Only after thorough observation we realize each image is linked up with its surrounding revealing the artistic and rhythmic pattern of the artwork. Only going through these steps we manage to embrace the multiple inputs as one video totem.
The Sistine Chapel is a stunningly sumptuous Audiovisual feast. It’s a large-scale installation made by 40 video projectors exhibited in plain sight in the centre of the room as if they were musical instruments.
This baroque multi-projection is a pioneering experiment of video mapping. As it’s really hard to focus on the single video feeds, the viewer is lead to appreciate the overall immersive AVscape created by this chaotically symphonic orchestra.
Artistic expression and technological experimentation bound together and filled with Nam June Paik’s refined sense of humor. Art that speaks to everyone that has ears and eyes for it!

Berlin, January 24 – February 2 2020
CTM’s 21st edition launches with an announcement of new performances, special projects, and commissioned works.
Combining unique productions, concerts, and club nights with a dense daytime programme of talks, discussions, installations, and an exhibition, CTM 2020 proposes multiple entry points into thinking about this year’s Liminal theme.
Liminal phenomena and states are transitional phases in which a familiar order sees its values and symbols destabilised; norms are suspended or turned on their heads. We find ourselves in ambiguous spaces, somewhere between a past that is no longer valid and an ever-becoming future.
TM 2020 will again play out across some of Berlin’s most standout cultural and nightlife venues. For the first time, the festival hosts special projects at Radialsystem V and an immersive listening series at Silent Green’s Betonhalle, while continuing its close relationship with HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Berghain, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Festsaal Kreuzberg, and SchwuZ. A limited number of Early-bird Festival Passes are available now.
As always, CTM takes place parallel to and in collaboration with transmediale festival. The jointly organised Vorspiel 2020 Open Call is out now. Vorspiel will again bring together a wide range of Berlin-based artists, initiatives, and venues, hosting a city-wide programme of cultural events.

Kinepolis Group a annoncé lundi 12 novembre avoir signé avec le coréen CJ 4DPLEX afin d’équiper six nouveaux complexes cinématographiques de la technologie 4DX. Celle-ci associe des équipements audio et de projection de haute technologie, avec des effets mécaniques (fauteuils en mouvements) et atmosphériques (vent, pluie, fumée, etc.) Moins d’un an après l’ouverture de ses premières salles 4DX – à Anvers, Bruxelles, Lomme, Madrid et Valence – Kinepolis récidive avec cette technologie qui sera active dans les prochains mois dans trois complexes en Belgique (Kinepolis Hasselt, Gand et Rocourt), un au Luxembourg (Kirchberg), un en France (Kinepolis Nîmes) et un en Espagne (Kinepolis Diversia, Madrid).
La fumée n’est pas interdite dans les salles 4DX
Créée en 2009, la technologie 4DX s’est rapidement étendue dans le monde entier. À ce jour, elle équipe 573 salles, dans 59 pays et le chiffre des 600 salles devrait être atteint d’ici la fin de l’année.
La capacité en places assises variera entre 88 et 160 sièges. Kinepolis prévoit d’ouvrir ses salles 4DX à Hasselt, Madrid et Rocourt d’ici la fin de cette année. Les trois autres salles ouvriront au cours du premier trimestre 2019.

Le Groupe Ymagis, spécialiste des technologies numériques pour l’industrie du cinéma, et l’intégrateur Chinois Great Ocean annoncent le lancement de la première salle de cinéma en EclairColor HDR (High Dynamic Range) dans la ville de RuiAn avec l’exploitant Bestar Cinemas. Au sein du tout nouveau multiplexe de Bestar Cinemas, la technologie EclairColor est au cœur du dispositif Premium Large Format (PLF) baptisé « STARX » et qui est équipé d’un écran de 22 mètres de base, de 600 fauteuils et d’un système de projection quad SRX-R515QS de chez Sony Digital Cinema.
« Nous sommes particulièrement heureux de pouvoir présenter pour la toute première fois en Chine cette nouvelle technologie HDR, au sein de notre nouveau multiplexe, situé dans le centre commercial Wuyue à RuiAn« , commente Jiang Yuanxin, Directeur Général Adjoint de Shanghai Bestar Cinemas Management Co. « EclairColor combiné à Sony délivre une qualité d’image supérieure qui apporte encore plus d’émotions à l’écran, améliorant ainsi de façon significative le taux de satisfaction de nos spectateurs. Dans le cadre de notre plan de développement, nous souhaitons ouvrir en Chine d’ici 2021, 50 salles STARX PLF équipées de la technologie EclairColor au sein de nos actuels et futurs cinémas. »
Pour Zhang Liang, Directeur Technique de l’intégrateur Chinois Great Ocean, « la collaboration avec les équipes d’EclairColor s’est parfaitement bien déroulée lors de l’installation de notre premier site à RuiAn. La palette de couleurs qu’apporte EclairColor est beaucoup plus riche et les nuances sont très fines permettant d’obtenir à l’écran de vrais couleurs noires, comme cela a été démontré lors de la projection du film Chinois Dying to Survive en EclairColor. Tous les cinémas, quelle que soit la taille des écrans, peuvent s’équiper en EclairColor HDR. Par ailleurs, le système de projection Sony Digital Cinema 4K peut être utilisé par les exploitants pour projeter aussi bien les contenus masterisés en EclairColor que les contenus au format habituel (« DCI »). »
« Nous espérons pouvoir annoncer dans les prochaines semaines de nouvelles installations en EclairColor grâce à notre premier site témoin à RuiAn avec notre partenaire Great Ocean« , déclare Simon Eyriès, Chef de projet EclairColor. « L’arrivée d’EclairColor en Chine est une étape clef pour les cinéastes et les exploitants chinois qui ont désormais accès à une technologie HDR disponible, efficace et économique. A cette occasion, Eclair (le pôle d’activités contenus du Groupe Ymagis) a produit le premier DCP EclairColor d’un long-métrage produit et filmé en Chine Dying to Survive, réalisé par Wen Muye«
Jocelyn Bouyssy, le directeur général du groupe CGR – premier circuit cinématographique en France avec 73 cinémas – a inauguré le 20 juin dernier en présence de nombreux invités le nouveau complexe cinéma du groupe CGR à la Porte des Lilas à Paris. Un cinéma de 7 salles rebaptisé CGR Paris Lilas, suite au rachat du groupe Cap’Ciné en novembre 2017.

L’ensemble du lieu, entièrement rénové et repensé, dispose d’une salle Premium particulière (la n°4) baptisée ICE (Immersive Cinema Experience) qui se distingue des autres par son côté immersif. C’est la 19ème salle CGR en France à disposer de ce procédé (une exclusivité CGR Cinémas) qui associe qualité visuelle, sonore et confort du spectateur (taille et espacement des sièges inclinables, gradinnage rehaussé…) En plus d’une excellence sonore qui « enveloppe » le spectateur (Dolby Atmos qui met à contribution 53 haut-parleurs dont certains au plafond) et d’une qualité visuelle lumineuse et cristalline (projecteur laser 4K Christie 9P à 60K lumens, 14 pieds-Lambert pour la 2D et 7fL en 3D), la salle dispose de 12 panneaux Led latéraux Philips (technologie LightVibes, propriété de CGR suite à son rachat à Philips) qui prolongent sur les côtés l’environnement sensoriel de l’écran principal et plonge le spectateur dans l’action.

« Il faut compter 1 million d’euros d’investissement pour une salle ICE LightVibes, explique Jocelyn Bouyssy, Dg du groupe CGR. Luc Besson a été le premier à nous faire confiance sur son film Valérian ; notre laboratoire de post-production à La Rochelle se charge d’incorporer la technologie LightVibes aux copies numériques. Pour des raisons de sécurité, c’est un véritable bunker ; je n’ai moi-même pas le droit d’y pénétrer ! » Depuis la sortie du film de Besson, plusieurs studios américains ont fait confiance à Jocelyn Bouyssy et à son concept ICE LightVibes dont Warner, Sony, Universal, Disney Nature… et prochainement Paramount (en discussion). Un succès qui fait qu’aujourd’hui CGR propose sa technologie à d’autres exploitants sans demander de royalties. A charge pour eux d’adapter leurs salles à ce label et son haut standard de qualité. Certains films diffusés dans la salle ICE ne bénéficient pas du format LightVibes – les spectateurs en sont avertis avant d’acheter leur billet – Ils peuvent malgré tout apprécier les bandes-annonces formatées ainsi. CGR espère pouvoir sortir chaque année une vingtaine de films en immersion sensorielle LightVibes.

Le spectateur bénéficie d’un accueil ICE privilégié dès le hall du cinéma. Grâce aux fauteuils numérotés, il peut réserver la place de son choix, en ligne ou directement au cinéma. Le prix des billets reste raisonnable pour cette salle premium : 15€ en plein tarif ; 11€ tarif réduit pour les moins de 26 ans ; et 8€ en matinée et pour les enfants toute la journée. Un véritable succès pour CGR qui proposera 7 nouvelles salles ICE d’ici la fin de l’année.
