Touring all across the Asia Pacific and coming to Sydney in early December, ‘Art in Motion’ is a free multi-sensory event presented by Hewlett-Packard together with inthemix, which will see performances from Coldcut, Nu-Mark as well as Berlin-based design collective Pfadfinderei. As well as appearances in Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong and Shanghai the tour will be touching down at The Forum on Thursday 6th December, with a bunch of local supports.
‘Art in Motion’ is the second installment of a HP initiative that provides a platform to engage with examples of how computer technology can deliver an experience that fuses the art of sight, sound and touch, and it’ll be the first time we’re seeing it in Australia. UK dance and audiovisual heroes Coldcut will be bringing the next installment of their Sound Mirrors world tour, which goes by the name of Journeys by VJ. Taking the VDJ experience to the next level, they’ll be playing across four decks to cut, dice, layer and mash everything from B-Boy breaks, obscure film references, cartoons, politicians as well as all the prerequisite Ninjatunes classics.
Nu-Mark on the other hand is well known as one of the production geniuses behind hip hop crew Jurassic 5, responsible for around half of the production their entire body of work. As a DJ he’s well known for his innovative plays on sound, dabbling in a whole range of musical styles including soul, funk, hip-hop ands many more.
Berlin-based Pfadfinderei will be making their debut in Sydney, a collective consisting of 8 designers, VJs, artists and typographers, and on local support we’ll see performances from the Sydney-based futuristic hip hop act Apsci, originally hailin from New York City, as well as the award-winning DJ Samrai.
