Ioann Maria about Live Performers Meeting

  • 0:06 - 0:08
    LPM means Live Performers Meeting.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    It is an international gathering for
  • 0:10 - 0:15
    Live-Video artists, Live-Visual artists and VJs.
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    It's not a festival.
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    It's not to bring stars here,
  • 0:19 - 0:23
    but to make this encounter between
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    beginners in the Live-Video field
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    as well as professionals.
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    At night we have audio-visual performances
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    as well as VJ-sets.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    During the day we have an open space for meetings
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    We have workshops, presentations and showcases.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    Everything related to Live-Video.
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    It's a chance to get inspired by each other.
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    Our idea was to bring the people together,
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    to make them work together.
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    To exchange and collaborate together.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    We work on LPM all year long,
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    since we have two editions a year now.
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    We are working about half a year per edition.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    Building the programme for such an event
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    is quite a challenge.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    We are here now in 2012
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    with the biggest international edition,
  • 1:25 - 1:29
    the eleventh edition with over 500 artists.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    Not any other event
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    has so many hosts and artists.
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    It's almost impossible for us
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    in four days to bring so many artists
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    from all over the world.
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    This year we collaborated
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    with the Athens Video Art Festival
  • 1:45 - 1:50
    with VJ-Torna in Budapest
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    and with Vision'R Festival in Paris.
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    Meanwhile we have exchange events,
  • 1:57 - 1:58
    we go into the cities
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    and bring together events with our partners.
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    This is an important part of our process,
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    because we get to many more artists
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    promoting our ideas.
  • 2:23 - 2:28
    LPM started in 2004 in Rome.
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    It was more a regional event for VJs
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    started by Gianluca Del Gobbo.
  • 2:34 - 2:38
    Every year, every edition is bigger.
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    It started here in Rome,
  • 2:40 - 2:44
    but now we are working also in other countries.
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    The first edition out of Italy
  • 2:48 - 2:53
    happened 2008 in Xalapa, Mexico.
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    That was our first experience to build
  • 2:56 - 3:00
    LPM with another crew in another country.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    With support of European Union
  • 3:02 - 3:07
    commisson programme for arts,
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    we made another editon
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    in Minsk, Belarus last year.
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    Now we make two editions a year.
