RZM – Chernivtsi September 2009

Posted by maki on March 3rd, 2010 | Category: Features, Live Music, Videos

When Ritsche asked me to join RZM as a guest for a gig in the Ukraine, among other things I was up for it because I saw a good opportunity to combine Tagtooling with traditional painting. We already had made some steps into that direction, but this was different. Whereas before we had treated the painting surface more like a canvas for both analogue and digital painting, the work of RZM is focused on the whole space, and the movement within it.

May 2009 was a busy month. Among many performances, one thing stood out: the use of the Tagtool with dancers and circus artists. These sessions were experiments, fragments of a bigger picture that is still taking shape. Here are some happy accidents on video.
