12_series at IFFR

We are very happy to announce the exhibition of our 12_series installation as part of this years International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Our twelve thunderous image and sound generating machines will open up the vast pitch-black architecture of the former Rotterdam dockside warehouse Pakhuismeesteren. Inspired by the principles of evolution and decentralized autonomous decision making, the machines produce an endless improvisation based on audiovisual imitation, mutation and recombination, aiming for the emergence of captivating complexity from a vocabulary of rudimentary shapes, sounds and logic.

The exhibition is located at Pakhuismeesteren, Wilhelminakade 52-58, and is opened daily between 12:00 and 20:00 from January 27th until February 5th 2011.
Pakhuismeesteren is one of the forty extra festival locations accessible with the XL pass. During the festival the pass can be bought at the central box office at the Doelen or at the festival location LantarenVenster down the street from the Pakhuismeesteren.

12_series at IFFR 2011 is made possible with the generous support of DKC Rotterdam.
