A city map of Bonom's endangered species. After extensive excavations, Brussels archaeologists have managed to establish a map of Bonom's fossile paintings... Photo archives on the map will help you to better recognize them or imagine the ones who disappeared.

As a soundscape for the meeting point we connect to the sound-stream of KRN in Dakar. What we hear is the sound of the streets in Dakar, captured through an open window. Additionally we set up our own Locus Sonus stream box, sending out the meeting point noise.

Byram has a healthy and insatiable fascination for cultural viruses and flickering forms of communication. For Cimatics he installs a huge straws couch. The big pile of white straws invites passengers to take a seat, and by this actively repurposing a daily commodity. Reflection upon mass-production, recyclage and waste... art, design and happiness.

Under City Flows is an interactive installation specially designed for this edition of the Cimatics Festival. The public is invited to walk on a huge interactive map of Brussels, where every steps, every moves are perceived by the floor. A link between physical space and the virtual world is created and offers a fully immersive experience. By physically exploring the map, the viewer can access every information about the festival, artists and upcoming events. The map also reflects in realtime the trends and thoughs about the festival by collecting data on social networks like Twitter or Facebook. This installation is about the festival and everything surrounding it, from the last artist playing next to you to the feelings of people across the city. It will guide you during all the festival and helps you create the perfect path through all the differents venues.

We asked T2X to dedicate a Timecast episode to this festival edition, so Eavesdropper combined his favorites from the Cimatics 2009 line-up in a compact mix. If you think of the festival's history, you'll definitely notice the evolution from a strict visually based concept to a broader media and arts gathering. And that's how this episode connects to the festival, combining cinematic compositions with pure dance floor killers and experimental sound art. Use this mix as your audio guide while wandering through the streets of Cimatics or as a the soundtrack for your warm-up exercises before diving into the nightly mayhem.
