Dynamix Live – 2017

Lalya — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:07:54 +0000

Dynamix Live returns to Dynamix Skatepark for 2017!

Dynamix Live is an innovative live digital media arts piece that launched on 1st May 2016 and is relaunching for this winter/spring season. The piece consists of a dynamic projection of the activities which take place at Dynamix onto its building’s façade, turning it inside out. High-definition live and recorded footage of skateboarders, BMX riders, scooterers, wall-trampolinists, motocross riders and aerial circus artists, captured by action cameras and mobile phone, is edited live by a VJ into a stylised single stream video and projected in real time and large scale onto the building – thereby revealing the usually hidden activities happening inside and behind the 40 000sqft warehouse, and transforming them into a cinematic experience for the audience.

This project also serves as an opportunity to share Dynamix’s plans to further develop the Albany Road site they are based on as a Village of Health, Well-being, Creativity and Innovation, and Social Enterprise. This includes the creation of co-working and incubator spaces, as well as accelerator and other support programmes for Sport and Health tech, and tech for good companies. This collaboration with Attaya Projects is an example of the kind of benefits brought by diverse sectors and practitioners cohabiting on the site: sharing skills, creating new products and outcomes, and breeding innovation.

SCHEDULE

Dynamix Live will happen on three evenings during winter 2017, featuring invited VJ / live video editors, and with playbacks during other nights (detailed programme to be announced HERE).

Event dates:
26th February 2017
