Video improvisation group

242.pilots
From the site:
242.pilots : a real-time video improvisation ensemble

hc gilje (norway)
kurt ralske (usa)
lukasz lysakowski (poland)

three video artists who perform collaboratively.
using their own custom software, 242.pilots expressively improvise rich,
layered experimental video works in real-time (both as a trio and as soloists).

improvising as a group, the three artists respond and interact with each other's images
in a subtle and intuitive way. images are layered, contrasted, merged, and transformed.
the degree of interplay and unspoken communication between the artists is akin the best
free jazz ensembles.

the end product is a complex 'visual conversation': a quasi-narrative exploring
degrees of abstraction; a mesmerizing, immersive journey through diverse landscapes;
or just raw retinal delight.
