Summary: Infected Hardware, an interactive AV mapping piece built with Alex Halka and Matthieu Tercieux for the festival's tenth anniversary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For its tenth edition Clujotronic brought back three artists from the festival's own
|
||
|
|
history: Alex Halka from Romania, Matthieu Tercieux from France, and myself. The brief was
|
||
|
|
open, which is to say there was not one. We were asked to make something together that none
|
||
|
|
of us would have made alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What came out of it was *Infected Hardware*, an interactive audiovisual mapping piece in the
|
||
|
|
courtyard of the Cluj Art Museum. For three evenings the courtyard worked as an experimental
|
||
|
|
laboratory rather than a stage: the facade carried the projection, the audience could act on
|
||
|
|
it, and the three of us ran it live.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> *"Three of the artists who shaped the festival's history, Alex Halka (RO), Kiritan Flux (DE)
|
||
|
|
> and Matthieu Tercieux (FR), answered the challenge of creating an original interactive
|
||
|
|
> digital art project together. That is how Infected Hardware came about."*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That is the organisers' own description, translated from the
|
||
|
|
[Romanian](https://institutfrancais.ro/cluj-napoca/clujotronic-2021-2/), and it is fairly
|
||
|
|
close to how it felt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I had played Clujotronic in 2014, 2015 and 2016, every time with Alex. The festival has a
|
||
|
|
habit of putting people in a room to see what happens, which is how the first of those
|
||
|
|
started: 48 hours to build an audiovisual set with a musician I had never met. Ten years on,
|
||
|
|
the method had not changed.
