Ooglive program

Ooglive was a live evening program, presented on the 29th of September 2006 in the Westergasfabriek in which audiovisual and performing artists comment on news in a direct and visual way. Ooglive was an evening divided in two parts about news, arts and media. In Ooglive the audience experienced the scale, urgency and diversity of the news, placing the audience in the middle of the news.

In Ooglive more then 35 well known artists from Holland and abroad presented works most of which will be unique pieces made for this Ooglive, which can only be seen at this event.

The first part of the program, 'The Interface', took place on and around an interface, projected on a cinematic scale and inspired by the organized hysteria of 24 hour TV news channels where all media streams converge onto a single screen. The multiple possibilities of multi-media and live performance were combined: from SMS to print media, from pre-recorded presentations to live feeds, from visual to performing artists. The interface was developed by Joes Koppers.

For the second part of the program, called ‘The Newslounge’ the audience was invited to come to 'Zuiveringshal Oost,' In a bazaar like environment, Ooglive presented installations, performances and VJ's. Here Ooglive joined other acts which were part of the Picnic at Night event. Amongst others: Rigiotti Ensemble and Pipslab. Along with enjoying the performances and installation.
