Yesterday I had the honor to participate at the second edition of
|
||
|
|
'Flimmerkiste', the regional VJ gathering in Mannheim. The meeting place
|
||
|
|
was the lounge area of Zeitraumexit close to the industrial harbor of
|
||
|
|
Mannheim, the same location where last year's [B-Seite VJ
|
||
|
|
festival](http://jetztkultur.de/bseite/de+en/ "B-Seite") took place. The
|
||
|
|
round of attendees was small but select:
|
||
|
|
[Pixelschubser](http://www.benjaminjantzen.de/ "VJ Pixelschubser"), [VJ
|
||
|
|
Tenner](http://www.vjtenner.com/ "VJ Tenner"),
|
||
|
|
[TimVis](http://timvis.de/ "VJ TimVis") and myself among a small group
|
||
|
|
of curious young people from the national theater.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The formal part of the meeting was rather short - i felt a bit
|
||
|
|
flattered, receiving a free beer to celebrate the ['5 years of
|
||
|
|
flux'](http://blog.kiritanflux.de/2009/05/28/5-years-of-flux/ "5 years of flux")
|
||
|
|
anniversary - so I hoped we would quickly continue to the next point:
|
||
|
|
AVIT Networking. We talked a bit about the planned issues and read
|
||
|
|
through some text but eventually Pixelschubser decided to write down
|
||
|
|
some info text about B-Seite at some point later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally we proceeded to the most fun part of the evening: guerilla
|
||
|
|
wildscreening in downtown Mannheim. Armed with a gasoline electricity
|
||
|
|
generator, a nice 5000 ANSI projector, manfrotto tripod, V4 and laptops
|
||
|
|
we walked through the Kreuzberg'ish 'Jungbusch' area towards the center
|
||
|
|
marketplace where the huge city hall is located.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Equipment was set up quickly and we had a lot of fun, doing spontaneous
|
||
|
|
mapping masks, jamming along, spreading Flimmerkiste flyers to curious
|
||
|
|
bystanders. The cops came twice, but rather because of curiosity than
|
||
|
|
maintenance of public order. Timing was perfect, because when the VJs
|
||
|
|
really started to get groovy, the illumination of the city hall got
|
||
|
|
switched off and we had the whole building just for ourselves.

The evening in Mannheim was a lot of inspiration and fun and I was glad
|
||
|
|
to be part of it. Frankly, the VJs around here seem a lot more
|
||
|
|
spontaneous and kicking than most of us guys in Berlin - since we
|
||
|
|
planned such a guerilla projection night forever without ever doing it.
