▽△▽ DJ-VJ SETS // ALGORAVE // COLDCUT ▽△▽
VJ performances are a cult moment of LPM. Since the first edition in 2004, thousands of VJs from all over the world have colonised our screens with colours, stories and visual rithms. This year as well the best international VJs are hosted in Rome to showcase all their talent and creativity. These are the most dynamic moments of the meeting, that fuse sounds and video in unique and involving experiences. Among the most important moments, a special place is reserved to “Algorave” during friday night, where sounds and images are live generated exclusively through algorithms, whereas on Saturday the live performance of Coldcut, English band founder of Ninja Tune, one of the first to join video and audio, considered one of the most important artists on the electronic dance scene, with their unique and avant-garde style that melts music from different genres like hip-hop, soul, funky, with multimedia images and videos; after that, the night will go on with the Illusion Crew’s set, with three djs in consolle.

▽△▽ WORKSHOPS 4 KIDS ▽△▽
A space and a moment fully dedicated to kids where they can freely express their creativity and fantasy, creating new forms with colours that will then become interactive installations. The children will have the chance to get closer with fascination and curiosity to this type of artistic form, creating their own new and unexpected forms and colours. The workshops dedicated to the younger generation are two, LPM Video Mapping for Kids and Light up your fantasy’s LEDs, and both of them will take place on Saturday and Sunday from 16:00 to 19:00.

▽△▽ LECTURES ▽△▽
The lectures are at the center of the cultural debate, thought as a moment of confrontation and mastering between artists, field experts and public. There will be debates aimed to enlarge the knowledge and awareness on the most recent happenings in technology, open data, other than ideas on the complex relationship between man and machine. Overall, they are moments of learning of tools, patterns and applications for live video.
The AVnode team will attend, introducing the new network that contains artists, field experts and professional in the organization of events in the audiovisual arts from all over the world; Matt Black (Coldcut member) will attend, explaining the artistic relevance of the audiovisual arts. During lectures the themes explored will be of both theorical an theoretical natura, in order to analyse and start a debate about the state of visual arts, digital realities, community and its further developments.

▽△▽ VIDEO INSTALLAZIONI ▽△▽
Leaving the stage, digital arts can get closer to the public creating unexpected and intimate fruitions. Video, audio, touch and movement become the new vocabulary of a language dedicated to the development of interactive games and perceptive experiences of significance and images. Interactivity is the key to read these pieces, that inquire beyond the boundaries of visual communication, in order to let the viewer interact with them, pushing senses and perceptions beyond reality and fantasy.

▽△▽ WORKSHOPS ▽△▽
Workshops and showcases are moments of learning and sharing where the main theme is that of the live video performance. Theories on contents and image elaboration are mastered, new technologies are studied and experimented, cultural debates are brought up about free and open source, and the latest news in software and hardware developments are learnt. The showcases will present new products as well as know practices, always in order to bring the public to the point of being able to deal with the creative and technical process. Among the teachers there are relevant names such as Mark Coniglio, creator of Isadora, one of the most important software that goes beyond the average VJing softwares.  Every workshop, then, has a clear goal, which is the making of a performance, mapping, audio visual project, both for adults and for kids.
