In these other spaces, expectations change and new ways of perceiving become possible. For the Live Abstracts program, young media artists from ‘the lowlands’ have been invited to present their work in a cinema setting. From Holland, the work of m//. involves non-cyclical abstract imagery, while that dk reveals meticulously programmed sound environments. And from Belgium, mxHz (or machine centred humans) research the relationship between technology and creativity, while Martiens Go Home! rarely appear live, but rather perform every week for the radio. All of these artists will perform short sets which synthesise engaging electronic sounds with ground-breaking visual experiments.
