Aalto (visual)

Aalto - lecture, MeetFactory, 6:00 PM 03/13

Everything you need to know about Romain Tairdy hides in the title of the label, where he belongs. AntiVJ refuse classical approach to VJing and try to push it up to the higher level. It's not pictures, projector and screen, but visual installations, modern sculptures. Tardy frankly indulge himself in lighting objects.

Even if mapping is a prerogative discipline of AntiVJ, they shift "impossible" to "possible" not only in this section. The second place is simply not good enough for them anywhere. They dictate trends, set the direction. And travel around the world. They performed at Canadian Mutek or in South Korea and they collaborate with Mexican musician Murcof.

Romain Tardy aka Aalto is going to perform beside American beatmaker Nosaj Thing. Aalto is coming to Prague fourteen days before the festival begins to create a peculiar light design of the stage and visualisations, both intended just for this shared performace with Nosaj Thing.

That decent preparation means something. It's gonna be big. And one thing is clear: this won't happen ever again.
