On seven earlier occasions V2_ and Paradiso have organized the program 
dot.nu, live cinema in motion. Now, within the context of the ‘September in 
Rotterdam, the World of the Witte de With’ event, an extra edition of 
dot.nu will take place, in which a closer look will be taken at how two 
projects from earlier dot.nu’s have developed since their initial joint 
performance.

dot.nu is one of the driving forces behind the phenomenon of ‘live cinema’, 
which focuses on various forms of live projections in combination with live 
music. The rise of VJ culture has led to a renewed interest in alternative 
ways of presenting projected images, and now developments in both hardware 
and software have made ‘live cinema’ fact rather than fiction. Having 
provided an active platform for live cinema for almost two years now, 
dot.nu also supports research into other forms of projection and experience.

The presentation consists of:

COH RUS) and Telco Systems (NL)
COH is the Russian musician Ivan Pavlov whose albums are published by the 
German firm Raster-Noton. Under the name of COH, Pavlov  who lives in 
Stockholm  creates compositions where elegant and penetrating sounds are 
being fused into an intoxicating result. He studied mathematics and physics 
at the University of Gorky (Russia), specializing in acoustics. He has 
collaborated with the British group Coil, among others.
The images by Telco Systems, the artists’ duo Gideon Kiers and Lucas van 
der Velden, are characterized by a clear and sober aesthetics that is 
closely related to the computer technology by which they are generated. The 
completely abstract images are like virtual worlds, developing by the rules 
programmed by Telco Systems. Kiers and Van der Velden are also the 
initiators of 0010, minuszero, D:U:M:B and DLF.

Their first presentation together was at the 2002 International Film 
Festival Rotterdam. Their successful collaboration led to subsequent 
performances in the Czech Republic, Great-Britain, Germany and Belgium.

game of mobile forces
with Anton Aeki, Joris Cool, Anouk de Clercq (B)
game of mobile forces is a dialogue wherein live images flirt and blend 
with live music, using the new software Touch 101, a 3D program that lets 
the user create a figure and link deliberately chosen parameters within the 
image to consciously defined sound frequencies. The result is an 
interesting field of tension between man and technology, transcending the 
intrinsic boundaries of image and sound as disciplines.
