VCC Skill Sharing: Audiovisual Practices – in Cooperation with Civa Festival

Visuals in the club space are far more than just pretty pictures – they set the mood, convey ideas, and amplify collective experiences.

How do you develop a visual language that truly fits both the club and the event?

Which tools and methods can you use to create compelling visuals in a club cultural context?

In this VCC Skill Sharing, curators and visual artists will share insights into their creative processes – from first concepts to live performance. They will share workflows, essential tools, and techniques for building 3D environments and real-time visuals, including mapping and control.

We will also discover and compare software tailored to specific projects in this interactive session, designed for active discussion and hands-on experimentation. Whether you’re just starting out or have been working with visuals for years – your questions, ideas, and experiences are welcome!

Are you interested in creating your own visuals within the club context?

Are you curious about the tools and approaches used by experts in the field?

Are you looking for inspiration for a visual language that fits your concept?

Then this is the right place for you!
