				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A short report of the Avit Berlin festival, which was held in late december in the German capital.</p>
<p>After some complicated preparations by email, everything finally went well a few days before the event: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=342784477&amp;size=o" target="_blank">Departure</a> from Paris at <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/342784478_37df1226e7_o.jpg" target="_blank">4AM</a> the day after christmas, with Aalto [studiovj], &#8220;visuals companion&#8221; for this week in Germany.<span id="more-93"></span></p>
<p>We arrive a day before the beginning of the event, which makes things a lot easier to locate and explore the different venues: Avit is held in the city centre, at <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/148/342834846_102dff6a71_b.jpg" target="_blank">M12</a> (a very nice bar / gallery with projectors and screens, managed by <a href="http://m12.visomat.com/" target="_blank">Visomat</a>), and also at the <a href="http://idata.over-blog.com/0/19/58/39/event_4.jpg" target="_blank">Bcc</a>, a udge building, which hosts at the same time the <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/146/342793667_44e2a0b0bd_o.jpg" target="_blank">23C3 conference</a> , a big event dedicated to hacking and geeks <img src='https://blog.antivj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  All that contributes to a quite particular environment, with Wifi routers taped on the walls, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35347076@N00/342784490/" target="_blank">nerds</a> sitted in the corridors, 8bit art exhibitions and <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/146/342793662_ec38288a2f_o.jpg" target="_blank">LEDs</a> <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/342793659_8b375c220c_o.jpg" target="_blank">sculptures</a>..</p>
<p>The VJ lineup was rather interesting, with VJs from many nationalities, demos and workshops, software and hardware presentations, even if most of the VJ sets were quite &#8220;traditional&#8221; (multi-layer + effects) it was great to finally meet familiar names from <a href="http://www.vjforums.com/" target="_blank">VJforums</a> and <a href="http://forum.vjfrance.com/" target="_blank">VJfrance</a>, and hook up for the Visual Jam at <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/group/34376/video/xxu8x_avit-berlin-couch-1" target="_blank">club couch</a> (that I missed) , and at  <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1442f_avitc23cbase-vj-jam-session" target="_blank">C-Base afterparty</a>.</p>
<p>Among the highlights of this festival, lots of very good things happened at M12:<br />
- <a href="http://www.tagtool.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Tagtool</strong></a>: A <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/342806552_12f4541a82.jpg" target="_blank">live drawing installation</a>, with a pen tablet and some faders to control different parameters   such as coulours, transparency, or motion.. Definitely very interesting for the &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/group/34376/video/x145ma_tagtool-presentation" target="_blank">live</a>&#8221; and spontaneous aspects.<br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/156/342834824_378c053751.jpg" target="_blank"><strong>Aalto</strong></a><strong> vjset</strong>: a beautiful set again, 100% of self produced visuals, with a very personal style, scientist mix of Aftereffects, hand drawings and vectorial 3D, the whole thing with a very special colour choice and ambiance. Macbook + UC33 and <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/342834827_0237bcbb6a.jpg" target="_blank">padKontrol</a>. Demos and samples of his work are available <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vj_aalto" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
- <strong>Multitouch screen</strong>: Demo of a big touchscreen which supports many fingers at the same time. A <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/125/342829888_e593f44d10.jpg" target="_blank">relatively simple</a> technique (Projector / Perspex screen, infrared LEDs + infrared video camera) which is promised to a beautiful future, especially in the development of the next generation of user interfaces, and also in the field of art without any doubt. (like the <a href="http://mtg.upf.edu/reactable/" target="_blank">reacTable</a> project).<br />
- <a href="http://www.telematique.de/" target="_blank"><strong>Telematique</strong></a>: abstract VJing, beautiful work on the light / images combo. <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/139/342806558_05cbe019ec.jpg" target="_blank">Sven Gareis</a> uses a <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/166/342829878_8753f13652.jpg" target="_blank">neons installation</a> on a white screen, DMX controlled, and he also projects images on this special screen, with video feedback effects which generated some glitchy visual &#8220;echo&#8221;, and very <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/153/342829882_bf9ef0eeb9.jpg" target="_blank">minimal and contrasted</a> images, a very nice plastician work.<br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/342806543_ad938eb65e.jpg" target="_blank"><strong>Vixid</strong></a>: Presentation of their new 16 inputs <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/342806548_2f587a0b33.jpg" target="_blank">video mixer</a> , developped in partnership with some Vjs: A nice intuitive interface, reliable high quality hardware, not that much &#8220;crap classical VJing effects from the 90&#8242;s&#8221; compared to the old V4 (that will quickly endup in a bin <img src='https://blog.antivj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ! Xray was betatester and also<a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/164/342806541_7b2a29c479.jpg" target="_blank"> cameraman</a>.<br />
Only negative point I can see, the IN/OUTputs are mainly composite (the worst quality standart you can ever get, invented in 1953) and svideo, but no DVI, SVGA, HDMI yet or any other standard from our century.  <img src='https://blog.antivj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/342793668_efea70030e_m.jpg"><strong>Vjing course</strong></a>: presentation  by Pavel Mrkaus of a new Uni course abouut live visuals and visual arts.<br />
- <a href="http://www.sparkav.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>Spark</strong></a>: <a href="http://www.tobyz.net/spark/spark-av-showreel.html" target="_blank">A/V</a> from Toby (avit uk) with apparently a great work on the narrative side of images (unfortunately I&#8217;ve only seen a few minutes of it as I was working on my set..).</p>
<p>I was supposed to play at the Bcc (rhythmic projections outside the building) but even if the calibration and tests <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/152/342793672_fdaa898a3c_o.jpg" target="_blank">went well</a> the day before, we had to change the plans at the very last minute, and I finally did a short A/V set at M12. Here&#8217;s a short extract from my set:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mini report pas très en avance du festival Avit Berlin, qui se déroulait fin Décembre dans la capitale allemande.</p>
<p>Après des préparatif par email un peu compliqués, tout fini par s&#8217;arranger à quelques jours du festival: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=342784477&amp;size=o" target="_blank">Départ</a> de Paris à <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/342784478_37df1226e7_o.jpg" target="_blank">4h du mat</a> le lendemain de noël, avec Aalto [studiovj], compagnon de ce séjour Teuton <img src='https://blog.antivj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-91"></span><br />
Nous arrivons donc une journée avant le début du festival, ce qui permet de repérer les lieux: Avit se déroule en plein centre, à la fois au <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/148/342834846_102dff6a71_b.jpg" target="_blank">M12</a> (gallerie / bar orientée visuels, tenue par <a href="http://m12.visomat.com/" target="_blank">Visomat</a>), et au <a href="http://idata.over-blog.com/0/19/58/39/event_4.jpg" target="_blank">Bcc</a>, un immense batîment qui acceuille en même temps la <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/146/342793667_44e2a0b0bd_o.jpg" target="_blank">conférence 23C3</a>, un évênement dédié aux hacking et aux geeks <img src='https://blog.antivj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Tout ça contribue à une ambiance bien particulière, avec des routeurs Wifi scotchés au murs, des <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35347076@N00/342784490/" target="_blank">nerds</a> assis dans les couloirs, des <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/146/342793662_ec38288a2f_o.jpg" target="_blank">sculptures de LEDs</a> <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/342793659_8b375c220c_o.jpg" target="_blank">programmables</a>..</p>
<p>La programmation VJing était assez interessante, avec des Vjs de nombreuses nationalités, des démos, workshops, présentations de logiciel.. même si on retrouvait beaucoup de VJing &#8220;classique&#8221; (multi-layers et effets), mais de très belles rencontres et de bon moments (notamment la Jam au <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/group/34376/video/xxu8x_avit-berlin-couch-1" target="_blank">club couch</a>, que j&#8217;ai ratée, et <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1442f_avitc23cbase-vj-jam-session" target="_blank">l&#8217;after party au C-Base</a>).</p>
<p>Parmi les highlights de ce festival, beaucoup de choses vraiment bien au M12:<br />
- <a href="http://www.tagtool.org/" target="_blank">Tagtool</a>: Un système de <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/342806552_12f4541a82.jpg" target="_blank">dessin en temps réel</a>, avec une palette graphique et des faders pour controler différents paramètres, comme la couleur, transparence, ou le mouvement des éléments dessinés.. Un côté &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/group/34376/video/x145ma_tagtool-presentation" target="_blank">live</a>&#8221; et spontanné vraiment interessant.<br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/156/342834824_378c053751.jpg" target="_blank">Aalto</a> vjset: Encore un très bon mix, avec 100% de production et un style bien personnel, savant mélange d&#8217;Aftereffects, de dessin et de 3D vectoriel, le tout avec un choix de couleur et d&#8217;ambiance original. Macbook + UC33 et <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/342834827_0237bcbb6a.jpg" target="_blank">padKontrol</a>. Des extraits de son travail sont disponibles <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vj_aalto " target="_blank">ici</a>.<br />
- Multitouch screen: Démonstration d&#8217;un écran tactile réactif à plusieurs doigts simultanément. Un procédé finalement <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/125/342829888_e593f44d10.jpg" target="_blank">realtivement simple</a> (Projecteur / Plexi, LEDs + caméra infrarouge) mais qui est promis à un bel avenir dans le dévelopement des prochaines générations d&#8217;interfaces utilisateurs, et dans le domaine de l&#8217;art sans aucun doute (comme le projet <a href="http://mtg.upf.edu/reactable/" target="_blank">reacTable</a>).<br />
- <a href="http://www.telematique.de/" target="_blank">Telematique</a>: Vjing abstrait, travail sur la lumière et les images. <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/139/342806558_05cbe019ec.jpg" target="_blank">Sven Gareis</a> utilise une <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/166/342829878_8753f13652.jpg" target="_blank">install de néons</a>, controllés en DMX, et des projections sur cette install, avec des effets de feedbacks vidéo qui génèrent de l&#8217;écho visuel, et des visuels très <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/153/342829882_bf9ef0eeb9.jpg" target="_blank">minimaux et contrastés</a>, avec un beau travail plastique.<br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/342806543_ad938eb65e.jpg" target="_blank">Vixid</a>: Présentation d&#8217;un nouveau <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/342806548_2f587a0b33.jpg" target="_blank">mixer vidéo</a> 16 entrées, développé en collaboration avec des Vjs: Une interface de qualité, intuitive, un hardware fiable et puissant, pas trop d&#8217;effets classiques &#8220;cheaps&#8221;.. en tout cas un produit qui envoie directement la V4 à la poubelle ! <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/164/342806541_7b2a29c479.jpg" target="_blank">Xray caméraman</a>.<br />
Seul point négatif, des entrées / sorties du siècle dernier: composite (le pire standard de qualité existant, datant de 1953) et svidéo, mais pas encore de DVI, SVGA, HDMI ou autres standards actuels.<br />
- <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/342793668_efea70030e_m.jpg">Formation au Vjing</a>: présentation par Pavel Mrkaus d&#8217;une nouvelle filière universitaire axée sur les visuels en temps réels.<br />
- <a href="http://www.sparkav.co.uk/" target="_blank">Spark</a>: <a href="http://www.tobyz.net/spark/spark-av-showreel.html" target="_blank">Set A/V</a> de Toby (avit uk) avec apparement un beau travail sur le côté narratif des images (je n&#8217;ai malheureusement aperçu que quelques images en préparant mon set).</p>
<p>Pour ma part, je devait jouer au Bcc (projections rythmiques en extérieur) mais malgrès les <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/152/342793672_fdaa898a3c_o.jpg" target="_blank">préparatifs réussis</a>, des soucis de dernière minute ont changé les plans, et j&#8217;ai donc fait une mini presta audio-visuelle au M12, pour la clotûre du festival. Petit extrait vidéo de mon set:</p>
