1/ ADE Beamlab invites the major players to dazzle your eyes
ADE Beamlab brings together a team of experts who will be opening the doors to their laboratory in order to show you everything that happens behind the scenes and the multi-screens. KBK Visuals tours with the world's #1 DJ and will be demonstrating the visual aspects of the I Am Hardwell World Tour. Then there's Arcadia Spectacular one of the highlights at this years Glastonbury festival. The team behind this immense mechanical structure will be discussing the construction and conception of it. And then there's Jem the Misfit, winner of this years Mapping Festival international VJ competition in Geneva, who just worked with Paula Temple on her new The Hybrid Tour.
2/ ADE Beamlab really is a Lab
ADE Beamlab is all about sharing experiences, meeting new people, learning about future scenarios and understanding new creative tools. And the people at Studio Boompje and FFORM really tick all the boxes of that profile. They have developed Synk, a VJ application that allows complete control of both lighting and visuals. While still in early development, Synk is now ready to be demonstrated in a live situation for the first time. But Synk does more than just control visuals, it also features a platform for both upcoming and experienced artists to share their creative work and ideas, enabling previously unimaginable levels of collaboration.
3/ ADE Beamlab to host the exclusive album launch of 2562
ADE Beamlab loves it when musicians and visual artists partner up. For his latest album The New Today, Dave Huismans - a.k.a. 2562 - collaborated with Heleen Blanken, who filmed microscopic footage for use in 2562’s audio-visual shows. The new album will be premiered exclusively at ADE Beamlab on Thursday, October 16th, preceding the album's full release a few days later on Huismans' own imprint, When In Doubt. You get to see and hear it first at ADE Beamlab! A perfect start for your Thursday night.
4/ ADE Beamlab is the place where talent meets the pros
What a golden opportunity this is! An intimate 2,5 hour session for the new kids on the block with Dutch maestro Tarik Barri who tours the world with artists such as Nicolas Jaar, Monolake and Atoms for Peace. He has designed his own software called Versum, that creates an integrated world of sound and images. How? He'll be telling you and demonstrating, and he may even ask you to push some buttons. Barri will offer insights into the way he works, the diverse possibilities of Versum, and the realities of using the software in real time. Capacity is limited, so make sure you reserve your seat today!
5/ ADE Beamlab is a 360 experience
Pakhuis de Zwijger is the home of ADE Beamlab. But a building, really, is still just a building. RANDY visuals will be making the old Amsterdam warehouse move and groove, welcoming you with some serious video mapping on the facade to make you go 'ooooh' and 'aaaah'. And then inside Pakhuis de Zwijger you might think you’re losing it, but really you’re not… Those paintings are indeed moving, thanks to Coloko & De Module, who create Motion Paintings. And yes, you might have seen them already at this years’ Lowlands festival. And we like it, it’s what we call 'Beamlab style!’
