THE AUSTRIAN CULTURAL FORUM NEW YORK

The Austrian Cultural Forum New York presents the best works from the sound:frame festival, the worldwide leading VJ/DJ event from Vienna. The exhibit sound:frame:remix will show seven videos and installations by artists from Europe and the USA.

 

The selection at the ACFNY puts REMIX in the foreground. In electronic music as well as in its visualization, the artistic strategy of remixing plays a pivotal role. Artists work with sound and video samples. Often, already existing material is newly put together, reproduced, or parodied.

 

In the past years, Vienna has gained the reputation of being the "Capital of the Projections." Musicians, visual artists, VJs (video jockeys), and DJs (disk jockeys) all meet here to melt sound and moving pictures together and create new synergies. A month-long, annual festival, sound:frame brings to life large exhibits, numerous live events and performances, as well as a broad selection of workshops, lectures, and panel discussions in various locations throughout Vienna and all of Europe.

 

Within only a short time, this festival has evolved from a Viennese insider tip to a highlight of the international VJ and DJ scene. In 2008 London-based DJ Mag, for example, named the sound:frame festival the “best international DJ event”. It is most definitely worth a visit, not only for experts of the trade.
