In the context of this year’s festive event Night of Culture initiated by the Athens Culture Net of the City of Athens, EMST is pleased to present the audiovisual performance-installation Dj++ / Boundary Conditions by the artist Alexandros Kontogeorgakopoulos in collaboration with Odysseas Klissouras, founding members of oneContinuousLab, as a parallel event.
On the ground floor of the museum, a festive DJ set of electronic music will take place. Alexandros Kontogeorgakopoulos takes popular tunes as his point of departure and twists, alters and distorts them to create immersive, unique sound collages. The set is accompanied by a live interactive installation made in situ in the museum, together with elaborate algorithms in synchronization and dialogue with the music. The event inside the museum will simultaneously be projected outside, unifying the museum’s interior with the open public space. The project expands the art of DJing, combining experimental forms of music production with artistic practices.
On that day EMST celebrates with free entrance for everyone.
