DIE SCHONE UND DAS MONSTER
A HOME commission for the fourth annual celebration of artist film, in which IMPATV collaborated with electronic musician Andrew Brooks.
The work takes its title from a found 8mm film sourced at a Berlin flea market, translated as Beauty and the Monster. This became the conceptual starting point for an experimental live performance combining analogue and digital systems.
The performance incorporated 8mm and 16mm projection, kinetic sculpture, audio-reactive visuals and video synthesis, each activated and deactivated throughout the event to construct an evolving immersive environment. Multiple live camera feeds captured the installation in real time, which was then processed and manipulated through video hardware and software before being re-projected to the audience, forming a layered and continuously transforming audiovisual system.
