[spectre] Ooglive Amsterdam

[aabrahams]

"You're going to be told a lot of things. You get told things every
day that don't happen. It doesn't seem to bother people. It's printed
in the press. The world thinks all these things happen. They never
happened. Everyone's so eager to get the story, before in fact the
story's there. The world is constantly being fed things that haven't
happened. All I can tell you is, It hasn't happened. But it's going to
happen." Donald Rumsfeld—Feb. 28, 2003, Department of Defense
briefing.

 Ooglive is a live evening program in the Westergasfabriek in which
audiovisual and performing artists comment on news in a direct and
visual way. Ooglive is an evening divided in two parts about news,
arts and media. In Ooglive the audience will experience the scale,
urgency and diversity of the news, placing the audience in the middle
of the news experience.

 In Ooglive more then 35 well known artists from Holland and abroad
will be presenting works most of which will be unique pieces made for
this Ooglive, which can only be seen at this event.
 The first part of the program, 'The Interface', takes place on and
around an interface, projected on a cinematic scale and inspired by
the organized hysteria of 24 hour TV news channels where all media
streams converge onto a single screen. The multiple possibilities of
multi-media and live performance will be combined: from SMS to print
media, from pre-recorded presentations to live feeds, from visual to
performing artists. The interface will be developed by Joes Koppers ,
whose work has recently been exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum
Amsterdam.

 For the second part of the program, called 'The Newslounge' the
audience will be invited to come to 'Zuiveringshal Oost,' In a bazaar
like environment, Ooglive will present installations,
 performances and VJ's. Here Ooglive will join other acts which are
part of the Picnic at Night event. Amongst others: Riciotti Ensemble
and Pipslab. Along with enjoying the performances and installations,
the audience can have a drink in the many lounge area's and dance to
the beat of DJ Phill Horneman.
