Over the course of 45 minutes, the pressure of the liquid exerts upon him multiple neurosensorial transformations. From his epidermal fiber to his nervous system, he reacts to influxes of viscosity in this liquid chamber. His cortex, lacking oxygen, gradually loses all notions of the real. Like a human guinea pig: a matter-body whose psychological states are the object of kinetik tableaux, of singular temporal spaces. It was in 2008 that Herman Kolgen initiated the INJECT project. The genesis of the principal visual material for this project was a shoot, in an immense cistern filled with water, which lasted six consecutive days. Yso had to be immersed for over eight hours a day in the glass tank, oscillating between weightlessness and lack of oxygen. With the aid of various digital video recording and photographic systems Kolgen assembled many series of temporal sequences, images that he then assembled into a flexible and modular body.

The collective Ogino Knauss (IT/DE) is invited for a residency during the Cimatics festival. During 5 days they will develop a new extension to their experimental live-media narrative project The Plot. The project is a substantial part of The Geographer, a serial multiplatform fiction. The G. is ultimately aimed at a film production, opening up the creative storytelling process to public feedback. The screenplay in progress is developed through a series live performed acts. The script is exhibited, as an evident, uttered visual structure subject to interpretation and transformation, producing a dynamical storyboard publicly exposed and processed. The main narrative line is developed through a blog collecting the protagonist’s memories. ThePlot is a live cinema experiment, exploring the edge-point where the written word transforms itself in analogical image. The main narrative thread is developed through a blog collecting the protagonist's memories, reporting his nomadic wandering

OH YES is a new audiovisual live performance by moving image experimentalists Max Hattler and Noriko Okaku, featuring a custom soundtrack by Kyoto-based dubmarronics. 'Oh Yes' takes as its starting point material sourced on YouTube. 'Oh Yes' is an ironic take on bodies, movement and pop culture, and an affirmative exclamation in celebration of the human condition. 'Oh Yes' is also simply an acronym for Okaku Hattler Youtube Entertainment System. The performance was commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices Festival in April 2009, and has been shown at film festivals including Moves09 in Manchester (UK), Curtas Vila do Conde (Portugal), Muuuvi Festival (Romania) and Square Eyes (Holland).

Jérome & Jean-Francois Blanquet (part of projetsinge) have developed a live audiovisual device which allows a direct experiment of video/sound relations through 'bridges' between mixing-desks using cables, hertzian waves and electric power lines. Thus sounds create pictures and pictures create sounds. RAW Geometry is a visual-audio project taking shape in improvisation. It's a play on the instability of machines and humans, on a 'loss of control', which explores unexpected areas of alien sensations and meanings - from outerspace. An experiment on forms that can generate audio and visual tools of our time and gives rise to a narrative.
