Funk Staden - Dias & Riedweg

This piece called Funk Staden by Dias & Riedweg is quite special. It is about certain subcultures of Sao Paulo in Brazil. This show by de Vleeshal in Middelburg was beautifully made, and consisted of 3 large projection screens and 3 equally sized mirrors. The resulting effect was quite dazzling and seemed to perfectly carry the images of the rather confronting three screen film. This was a very high standard work, and a pleasure to be a part of.
The installation ran 3 channels of HD video (in synch of course) off one machine. Duyser.net provided video encoding to match the projectors, audio setup, frame accurate synchronization, and full automation software. The show ran for 3 months (no hands) and later went to the Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, and Teylers museum in Haarlem.
