SYNCHRONATOR Live performance
Since the early years of video art, works have been made which do not produce a standard TV signal waveform and therefore cannot be directly recorded or projected with current equipment. For SYNCHRONATOR, Bas van Koolwijk and Gert-Jan Prins have created their own hardware to overcome this problem.
The project was initially developed during an 'Impakt Works' residency.
SYNCHRONATOR requires dual screen projection. More info at www.synchronator.com
Previous performances: Impakt [Utrecht], Avanto [Helsinki], Melkweg [Amsterdam], Club Transmediale [Berlin], Donau Festival [Krems]
FDBCK/AV Live performance
Solo live performance in which Van
Koolwijk generates a feedback
control circuit between the audio and the video signals, making audio
and video become two facets of a self-sustaining data stream.
External control is established by manipulation of parameters for the interpretation of
image>sound and sound>image. The application with which this is
done, makes no use of camera or movie input. All sound and image data
are generated real-time within the feedback system using
digital video basics.
Previous FDBCK/AV performances include Mutek 05 [Montréal], Club Transmediale [Berlin], Garage Festival [Stralsund] Re:visie/Dutch Film Festival [Utrecht] and Videologia [Moscow, Volgograd]
FDBCK/AV 3D Live performance
The stereoscopic variation of the FDBCK/AV live performance.
Seen through anaglyph glasses, the illusion on depth is added to the otherwise two dimensional projection.
FDBCK/AV 3D comes with quadraphonic sound and was developed in collaboration with Optofonica. www.optofonica.com
RF Live performance
The short and loud brother in the family of FDBCK/AV live sets. RF stands for 'Red Flag'.
Flagging or flagwaving is a video term refering to the sideways pulling and fluttering seen at the top of a TV picture caused by a skew misadjustment or some other tape tension error. Although the flagging in this work is of a digital nature entirely, its logic is based on these analogue video characteristics.
As a single screen video, 'FDBCK/AV - Red Flag' was released in october 2005. >>
SKIF++ Live performance
The electronic audio-visual trio SKIF++ is a collaboration of Jeff Carey, Robert van Heumen and Bas van Koolwijk. The SKIF++ sound ranges from sonic bursts to melodic melancholy and back, using joysticks and selfmade controllers to keep it all in line (most of the time). All compositions and performances are improvised, but based on structures that give each piece its distinct character. www.umatic.nl/SKIF++

Video works
From the Montevideo collection, the
videos TST 02, TST 04, FIVE and FDBCK/AV - Red Flag are available for screenings.
These are abstract video
compositions, compiled of digitally remodelled
video disturbances. Using the basics of the signals function, an audio
translation of the video signal serves as a soundtrack for these works.
Also available from Montevideo is SYNCHRONATOR, the first video release of the SYNCHRONATOR project.
For screenings please contact info@montevideo.nl
The video FDBCK/AV 3D is included in the video programme of the Optofonica project. www.optofonica.com
FDBCK/AV - Silver is part of the video programme ColorField Variations. www.3particles.com/colorfieldvariations
