portuguese artist that focus his work in the areas of experimental electronic/electroacoustic music and experimental intermedia art. He developed and deepened interest in philosophy and in multiple expressions of the experimental art: video, installation, intermedia. he runs the Hertzoscópio - Experimental & Transdisciplinary Arts Festival, dedicated to experimental and transdisciplinary arts.

joão castro pinto's audiovisual artistic approach reaches for an experimental aesthetics’ that longs to evocate & recreate environments and sceneries that are directly related with experiences connected with the richness and diversity of the landscape : "sound/visual scapes", presenting nonlinear narratives and perspectives. the artists considers the use of computers as a modus operandi that allows countless possibilities of affirmation/(re)creation - performance. The creative function (interactive) that these computerized mediums have confirms a creative power that up rises through their progressive experimental use, this fact transforms the creative output and representation of established artistic concepts and ideas.

jasch
www.jasch.ch

double-bass player, composer and digital artist active in the fields of electronic and improvised music, performance art, jazz and contemporary music. pieces for chamber ensembles, theatre and film. focus on works that combine digital sound and images, abstract graphics and live improvisation. personal research in interaction between instruments, moving images and electronic sound. solo and collaborative projects in electro-acoustic music or mixed-media pieces for the stage and installations. invited as lecturer and guest artist in various cultural and academic institutions. concerts in clubs and festivals and exhibitions throughout europe, the united states and canada.

with a background in improvisational music and soundscape composition, jasch applies similar processes to making images as he does to making music. texturing and layering, temporal evolving structures, and brief flashes of light all play important roles in creating a sense of abstract, visual movement in jasch's work, which oscillates and vibrates in a almost musical manner. no element is completely pre-produced, thus resulting in images that are suprising, sensuous, and erratic.
