FAUX IMAGES XVII

For the 1st time at Urban Spree, Faux Images XVII brings you Lilian Darmono (UK) FOREAL (TRIER) and schnellebuntebilder (BERLIN) featuring their exclusive installation M2. FAUX IMAGES is a quarterly meeting which provides a platform for showing and exchanging work and networking for the Berlin animation and motion design scene. Besides the opportunity for artists to present themselves and their work, central to FAUX IMAGES is the idea of community and mutual inspiration. At each meeting, local and international filmmakers, designers and artists from related disciplines are invited to present their work through lectures and screening. FAUX IMAGES is organized by Mate Steinforth. Admission is free. _________________________________________________________________________ schnellebuntebilder Since 2011, Sebastion Huber, Robert Pohle and Johannes Timpernagel have been bringing data and pixels to life. Their handmade, generative and interactive design is best suited to the museum space, shortfilms and performance arts: physical movements turn into visual languages, rhythms turn into structures, epochs into sound and image collages, empty rooms are filled with projections and grey facades enlivened with lights. What kicked off with music videos, animated films and visuals soon led to a more complex, project-based teamwork in the cultural sphere. To implement their projects, schnellebuntebilder work closely with curators, exhibition designers, creative artist, dancers and sound designers. schnellebuntebilder forge links between design and the arts: rendered animations and programmed graphics in real-time are both part of their repertoire. Anything goes as long as the trio achieve their favourite result: schnellebuntebilder.
