Sound and video live performance

They never met before. He (Kiritan Flux) works as a live visual artist in Berlin. His artistic work ranges from VJ shows at prominent techno events to more conceptual live-cinema performances tailored to their unique local context. She (Chloé Sanchez) travels between Auroville and France where she composes sounds for performing art, sound installation, radio and documentary. Kiritan Flux was creating visuals in a live setting that solely consisted of video footage that was shot in Auroville by his partner Tlalit Segal Raayoni and himself just the day before the performance, while Chloé Sanchez created a soundscape from her collection of audio recordings captured in Auroville over the past years. They met for the first time only on the day of the performance! Listen to the sound part on AurovilleRadio, click top right "play" button.

Beloved India

Vibrant, lively Aparajita Barai has stopped at our radio this morning bringing news on inauguration of her first solo exhibition tomorrow, Thursday 17that 5pm at Kala Kendra, Bharat Nivas, Pavilion of India, and her interesting workshop next week. One - title of the exhibition derives from the note that everything is ONE...we are one, god and goddesses are one... Aparajita is searching through symbolism of spiritually and mythology because she has realized that all the symbols became in India very ritualistic, and people stopped questioning themselves what do they mean. This way Aparajita will try to demystify Indian deities. Beloved India (www.belovedindia.com www.facebook.com/belovedindia) is a brand coming from Aparjita's studying business plan some years back while she realized that being a designer and creating a design is a process of solving a problem. As she sees it India has many problems, and out of commercial business she would like to continue with social projects.
