Great times in Paris for Vision’r Festival Vj – http://www.vision-r.org/.
The festival had different locations around Paris: La Generale Manifacture in Sevres (where i performed I C::ntr::l Nature see pictures below), Le Yono in Paris, and the amazing structure Mains d’Oeuvres in Saint Ouen: a polifunctional 4 floors building, with two big main hall (where the most of the audio/video projects has been shown), a huge community hall (where to eat, drink and chat) , several rooms for workshops and an amazing cinema hall, where i tested one of the best spacial acoustic in Europe (i performed there toghether with G-mO the audio/video project Shut Down G8).

Many artists took part in the festival this year and obviously i hadn’t the time to see every performance. Among all projects i found really interesting and professional Juste Alice 02 (http://www.myspace.com/a_li_ce) a original and deep reinterpretation of the fabulous charachter created by Lewis Carrol, Strap on Dildos (http://vjemtv.net/strap_on_dildos) powerful and ironic performance about feminism and queer culture, Hyperspace (http://hyperespace.yroyto.com) synthethic hyperdigital 3 screens performance.
On Saturday in Salon Pro we (as FLxER Team) had a stand where we presented the upcoming LPM 5th Edition, toghether with Codanova, Vixid, Vjamm and Edirol.

A great aspect of the festival was the presence of international artists such as Elsa Vieira and Brendan Byrne (http://vjtheory.net), Toby Spark (Avit UK) that toghether with us from FLxER Team and Neologos from Vision’r (and of course other people, unfortunately i can’t mention everyone) are trying to create and support a worldwide network focused on vjing and audio/video live performances. We had really constructive conversations, so we had the chance to share. This is the best we could ask.

Thanks to all Vision’r staff (Neologos, 10Tordu and all the others). Here you are some pics from these 4 days festival. You can find all the pictures in my gallery, click here (picture courtesy of Yroyto, LeCollagiste).
