SOUND:FRAME:REMIX
visualizing electronic music
"Best International VJ event" - DJ Mag, London, 2008
"In the future people will say, 'Last night a VJ saved my life!'" - Missy, Berlin, 2009
"sound:frame - one of the most popular festivals in the international DJ and VJ scene" - Austrian Radio and Television Broadcasting Company (ORF), Vienna, 2009
The Austrian Cultural Forum New York presents the best works from the sound:frame festival, the worldwide leading VJ/DJ event from Vienna. The exhibit sound:frame:remix will show seven videos and installations by artists from Europe and the USA.
The selection at the ACFNY puts REMIX in the foreground. In electronic music as well as in its visualization, the artistic strategy of remixing plays a pivotal role. Artists work with sound and video samples. Often, already existing material is newly put together, reproduced, or parodied.
In the past years, Vienna has gained the reputation of being the "Capital of the Projections." Musicians, visual artists, VJs (video jockeys), and DJs (disk jockeys) all meet here to melt sound and moving pictures together and create new synergies. A month-long, annual festival, sound:frame brings to life large exhibits, numerous live events and performances, as well as a broad selection of workshops, lectures, and panel discussions in various locations throughout Vienna and all of Europe. Within only a short time, this festival has evolved from a Viennese insider tip to a highlight of the international VJ and DJ scene.
OPENING EVENTS, 3 PM - 5 PM
Opening remarks by Andreas Stadler, Director Austrian Cultural Forum
The exhibition opening of sound:frame:remix coincides with the beginning of the Moving Sounds Festival 2009, a festival that creates dialog where different kinds of music and sound related fields can be explored, experienced, discussed, and experimented with. The festival will kick off with a set by Austrian DJ Dorian Concept and visuals by VJ Luma (ACFNY Theater, 5 PM).
