PROGRAM:

 

Festival opening act – IZLAND & jesusonecstasy (SLO)

20.08. / 20:00 h / Gallery Makina

 

IZLAND is a project focused on exploring the creation of abstract visual realities, based in experimenting with various analog techniques. It draws inspiration from chemical experiments, interactive artworks, experimental film and animation, the principles of cymatics and mechanical gadgets. Jesusonecstasy is using analog synthesizers and a digital drum machine he designed and built himself to create electronic music in real time.

The music based on improvisation is not limited to a single genre but emerges through a knowledge of the capabilities of the gear. The music moves from atmospheric sounds to break beats, passing through low tempo and IDM with an omnipresent electro feel.

 

 

You are here… elsewhere – Matthieu Tercieux (FRA)

20.08.– 22.08. / 21:00 h / Uspon Konzula Istranina

 

A monumental urban interactive map, a journey that begins under your feet, in your neighborhood, and takes you to the stars. The projections react to movements in real-time allowing the visitor to explore every corner of the image.

The contents of these animations are the result of creative workshops which included children (3 to 12 years old) who drew Pula as they perceive it. The workshops where organised in collaboration with Gradska knjižnica i čitaonica Pula, association Piccoli Terremoti and association Aboriginal.

 

 

Lum.e – Matthieu Tercieux (FRA)

20.– 22.08. / 21:00 h / Uspon Pavla Đakona

 

House walls are being transformed in a playground in which the participants project their colored shadows on the wall and create shapes with their bodies. The result is a big interactive art work. The space in front of the kinetic sensor becomes a place of socialization and play, and the space on the walls becomes its colorful reflection.

 

 

12 sati kasnije / 12 hours later – Davorin Marc (SLO)

20.08.– 22.08. / 21:00 h / Uspon Konzula Istranina

 

What happens when we film the event in the morning and then project it 12 hours later from the same point on the same area in the 1 to 1 scale? What do people, light and sound tell us? Are they the same, similiar or different than 12 hours before?

 

234th day of the year – A. Sinkauz, N. Sinkauz, I.M. Klif, M. Piškulić (CRO)

22.08. / 22:00 h / Gallery Sveta Srca

 

Day of the year is an experimental audio-visual project by the brothers Alen and Nenad Sinkauz, Ivan Marušić– Klif and Miroslav Piškulić, which explores the relation between live video act and sound. The audio material is a dislocated version of noise, drone, techno and industrial. The name of the performance is changed every time depending on the ordinal day of the year, thus pointing out the improvisational.

 

In\visible Pula – Association Metamedia

  1. – 22.08. / 20:00 h / Uspon Konzula Istranina, Uspon Pavla Đakona

 

Association Metamedia organized a photo contest through which the citizens became authors of postcards of Pula. On the photographs you can see Pula as seen by its citizens and the city details that reflect the authors’ memories and emotions. The best photographs are printed in the form of real postcards and can be taken for free on the location of the festival.

 

Voice(s) of the city – Pamela Moscarda + Thing.is, Lean Radolović and association Metamedia

20.08– 22.08. / 20:00 h / Uspon Pavla Đakona

 

Cities often hide interesting stories that inhabit what is seemingly and superficially an empty space. This interactive audio installation calls for revealing stories connected to the tunnel Zerostrasse, Uspon Pavla Đakona and Uspon Konzula Istranina. By participating in this installation you could find out about interesting stories from the “in/visible Pula”.

 

In\visible Istria workshop presentation – Oleg Šuran and association Metamedia

The installation presents the results of a workshop held in Poreč and Pula and produced by In/Visible cities festival. The workshop was designed as a multidisciplinary team work, composed of experts from different professional fields such as design, architecture, history, culture and creative industries. The main workshop task is aimed to create concepts for the development of a mobile/web application that would present targeted cities and public spaces in a more personalized and engaging way. Such interactive app should involve all users’ senses and provide an authentic experience of the in/visible public spaces.
