Sequences/Artists/Studiometis/One Day in Japan, 15 September 2002

Studiometis are specialists in mixing media (Art, Design, Education, Theory), and cultures (France, Japan, Germany). They make interactive knowledge spaces using chronophotography and are looking for a smooth fusion of real and virtual spaces with a new language integrating chronophotography, video loops, animations and music.
Much of their work is intended to be shown with music as a performance so the mode of interaction is that of a VJ. In “One Day in Japan”, the viewer can select, vary and interact with a great number of variables. Choices that the VJ can make include the expected variables such as speed and looping sequences but also include image manipulation such as luminosity, zooming, distortion and colour values. The convergence of chronophotography, music, performance and interactivity offers each viewer a unique and unpredictable experience.
