Kateřina Zochová and David Landa

 Their art is based on the tradition of cutout animation. The artists compose fine drawings, paper puppets, and objects live during the screening, using sampling and immediate digital postproduction in PureData. The various pieces of each frame are first sketched in stages just like in cinematic animation. Then they are scanned or shot by a camera and handled like virtual paper puppets. In this unusual artistic arrangement, the artists apply a nearly monochromatic color range and a combination of digital montage with actual physical alterations to the paper.

The musical part of the program arose from past Vlková and Koutný’s past collaboration within the Teve project, which also liked to use overhead projectors and light projections. Today’s musical program skewed away from their usual psychedelic music towards a more uniformly improvised and atmospheric music. In the spirit of their other Brno projects, the trio creates intensive moods and emotions using clearly formulated visuals and intuitive musical improvisation.

Hana was swallowed up by the fog,
soft and tangible at the same time.
Then he got wrapped up in his own shadow.
The white light of the sun.
The light with smoothly squirting softness.
We prepared the visual part together
and David is the one who handles it
during the performance.
It's based on a non-written script
but a good deal of improvisation
is also involved.
In passages with speech
we use samples prepared in advance
but the rest is about making something
out of nothing.
The visual part is intended
to go with music accompaniment.
The sounds match the images.
Ideally, the two parts
should complement each other.
The purpose is to tell
a sort of unfinished story.
This is Antonín Koutný
and Veronika Vlková,
authors of the musical project Teve.
Today we saw here
a live improvisation
without connection to Teve.
I was invited to this project as a guest.
The visual essence of this performance
consisted of Veronika's drawings and photos
that I put into motion
and connected into a microstory,
also using some of my own creations.
For me, VJing is a form of presentation
of my ideas.
Recently I've been interested
in working with...
I've been interested in working
with this open, live format.
In the future I'd like to try
what Katka and David did here,
to make an improvised animated video.
This is very interesting for me.
I used to sing in a choir
and the loops give me the chance
to use the elements of choir singing.
This is different from what we usually do.
Here we don't play songs,
we rather wanted to try to use
sonic textures without melody,
to improvise.
We had a rought concept of the story.
We wanted it to contain
elements of disintegration
that would correspond with the video part.
