After an AMAZING evening with 3 professors playing music for us, a handsome live act by Jacob Korn, amongst others, and a very cosy atmosphere, the next day started relatively relaxed and a bit late. For me at least.
Jacob Korn gave his Abelton live/MAX MSP workshop.
Here and there was still some working, talking, tinkering around going on.
Within the festival there was a small scholarship given for two projects.
Veronika Mayerböck, Jordi Puig & Wendy Ann Mansilla presented us their work-in-progress results from the last 4 days of researching. Veronika was hunting for a way to let music response to light changes.
Jordi Puig and Wendy Ann Mansilla were working on light changes in 3D environments.
But in general we had to dismantle everything.We (the Dresden crew) left around 5pm.
It's not the easiest to make a synopsis on the last 4 days.
We all had a very good time. We met new people, were listening to interesting keynotes and workshops, we had good food and good music all the time. We learned new things or immersed deeper into topics, software or conversations.
We were part of a great birth of new and promising festival for media art on wires.
For the next year we all just hope for more audience. This festival needs to be seen!
People missed out something very special.
A BIG thank you to Alexander Eichhorn and all the hands and good souls behind the scene! Great work, well done!
Thanks for reading,
Johanna
