Friday, January 16 at 20.30 hrs, O' jointly with Digicult presents a 2-set 
audiovisual live performance by Otolab. The Otolab collective will introduce 
its work to the public along with Marco Mancuso (critic, curator and 
director of Digicult) who has long followed and promoted their multimedia 
production. Two audiovisual performances will follow, 'Circo Ipnotico' and 
'Giardini Neri' (european debut).

Otolab was born in 2001 in Milan as an affinity group made up of musicians, 
djs, vjs, video artists, video makers, web designers, graphic designers and 
architects who embarked on a common path within electronic music and 
audiovisual research. Otolab projects evolve through laboratory, seminar and 
liveset activities following principles of mutual exchange and support, free 
dissemination of knowledge and experimentation. The production is composed 
of individual and collective projects where languages in use range from 
techno to dub to industrial, always investigating a symbiotic relationship 
between sounds and images. Otolab is a cultural association that produces 
livemedia, audio and audiovisual projects, installations, seminars and 
workshops. They have been hosted at festivals, cultural initiatives, 
museums, national and international galleries and have promoted self-managed 
cultural initiatives.
