ADE 2018: ADE BeamLab, an evening dedicated to visual technology and stage design returns to ADE


ADE BeamLab is back at De Brakke Grond on Wednesday, October 17, showcasing real-time visualizations, generative video installations, a cinematic experience as well as talks and Q&A's.

 ADE BeamLab returns at de Brakke Grond. With its last edition back in 2016, this year's ADE BeamLab again presents an evening dedicated to visual technology and stage design. It will open its doors on Wednesday at 7.30 PM and the program starts at 8 PM.

ADE BeamLab kicks off with a demo-talk by EboSuite's Jeroen Hofs and Rob Duyser, followed by a Q&A. EboSuite is a video plugin that turns Ableton Live into an audio-visual production suite, allowing real-time visualization to enhance live performances on tour. 

What is more, Q&A of the Q-Dance team in which one of their designers, a technical draftsman and a producer will be explaining how they turn ideas into reality, outlining the steps that need to be taken to ensure they succeed, and how to avoid the mistakes that can lead to the sudden evaporation of an idea. 

Aside from talks, ADE BeamLab will host a live performance of Van Abbe's Weltmaschine in its program. The Weltmaschine is developed by Albert van Abbe and Andreas Nicolas Fischer and can be described as both a new audiovisual live performance and a series of video installations generating hyper-reality landscapes in sound and image. 

Closing the night is the cinematic experience Monochrome. The audiovisual concept was created by Javier Bejarano and Nazare Soares for Oscar Mulero's album Perfect Peace. For this work, they have used mainly black and white footage mixed with high-quality video including material from the artists' archives. The transformation of abstract black and white film qualities are linked to the oscillation between harmony and aural dissonances of the sonic experience.
