Release The Audiovisual Breakthrough – Talk & Screening in Vienna

Visual music, expanded cinema, live cinema, VJing, live audiovisual performance – these concepts are enough to create confusion in the wide realm of today’s artistic audiovisual production. While each of these concepts is widely propagated and suggestive of its own history and shared practices, they are not as yet sufficiently defined for theoretical debate and clear practical use. To untangle this confusion was the aim of our project, The Audiovisual Breakthrough, which brought together six international researchers to solve the problem in a collaborative effort. Initiator and editor Cornelia Lund and researcher Eva Fischer show a collection of audiovisual works and discuss the process of publishing ‘The Audiovisual Breakthrough.’
