During the night from September 12th to 13th one of the empty shop display windows on Krišjāņa Barona street will come alive, helped by the Dirty Deal creative team in collaboration with the Finnish videoartist group Vixen and experimental electronic music artists from Riga.
The video material to be projected in the display windows will be created out of material shot in Riga city surroundings and live feed from surveillance cameras positioned in the display windows, and all that mixed with a previously produced video. The video projection will be a remixed reflection of the surrounding urban spaces, commenting on the city and trying to persuade passers-by to take a different look at the sights seen in the city every day. The musicians will also employ a similar technique – sounds will be recorded on the spot, in the streets framing the centre of Riga, and mixed with existing audio material.
Participants
Vixen is a VJ collective from Tampere in Finland. Although they mostly perform at clubs, Jenni Pystynen aka Ponyrevenger and Paula Lehtonen aka Video-Jukka-Paula like their video art to go beyond club stages and infiltrate interactive installations on the streets, in galleries, real-life situations, theatres and public places. An important aspect of their work is the delight in visualisations that have been created and enjoying them.
