For so far, Vilnius has been the most western city we've been visiting during our time in the Baltic States. Although the city looks more German, Lithuania has had a much stronger influence from Scandinavia, Sweden in particular. The 'polished' city center does not show any trace of homeless people or other society issues, but leads you through lots of tourist-areas where italian restaurants are well represented. In a few years this city could turn into another Prague.

In the Vilnius art center, a fully equipped computer room was reserved for our 3-day workshop. Since there were three other workshops going on simultaneously, we well promoted ourselves and got a very stable amount of participants coming from various brackgrounds. This time we could give an introduction of different open-source audiovisual software on the first day which was followed by learning the basics of Pure-Data the second day. After experimenting with Pure-Data, we managed to make a simple audiovisual tool for mixing image and trigger sound at the same time. See more pictures --> click here

The screening was well attended. To alternate the theoratical presentations which were taking place that same evening with the screening of selected videoworks was well chosen and it was enthusiastically received by the audience. Beginning with the Vasulkas, the screening builds itself up to more contemporary works with a definite highlight when Papillon D'amour of Nicolas Provost is showed. See more pictures --> click here
