- "Blind phase attraction" by Bestbefore (Andreas Karaoulanis) and Patrick K.-H
Patrick K.-H., Russian artist residing in Vienna, and bestbefore, Greek artist living and working in Berlin create animation and video installations by certain kind of ping-pong-exchange. They share, combine, mutate, convolve, variate hints, sketches, sequences and bits of each other’s material until their animated homunculus is ready to go. Curiously, first 4 years, since 2010, both were not sure if the collaborator is real - Patrick K.-H. suspected bestbefore to be an AI-operated computer network, while bestbefore assumed that something called Patrick K.-H. is no other than a projection of his own hidden sides. - Elliptical sound collage by Patrick K.-H. (aka Anton Iakhontov) and AudeRrose
Visual vivisectional practices upon chinese ink, sun prints, painting, transforming organic shapes into surreal live collages, reflecting the journey that sound does simultaniously. AudeRrose and Patrick K.-H. have crossed paths by sharing interests to the graphical sound, both technically and aesthetically, from its tradition to modernity - which does not necessarily mean that during their first live performance they will stick to its vocabulary.

AudeRrose is multi-disciplinary artist working with performance, photography, sound and projection. Her imagery plays with narrative structures, developing dreamy and intimate universes, exploring various forms of interplay between body, images in motion, deconstructive narrations and self-mythology. Her performances articulate live scenography protocols integrating video as an environment medium, considering the black box as a possible oneiric space, where sounds and images communicate in a poetic and narrative journey.
