"Artist Johannes Zits, VJ Karlen Chang and DJ Siesta will create a lively event combining performance, video and funky-jazzy-liquid sounds. Mixing sampled video footage from around the globe with a live feed, it will explore the dynamic interplay between the audience and the performers, examining the individual's evolving relationship with the outside world. From 9pm till midnight.
In his art practice Johannes Zits is committed to the use of collage and has pushed its traditional boundaries to include samplings from electronic billboards, internet, TV commercials, sound bites and live performances. Zits utilizes collage as a means to expose and subvert the assertions of pop culture and how it shapes us. Identity is akin to collage, in that its complexity takes form from many sources. For over ten years Zits has been combining the figure with appropriated images from advertising and interior design magazines to explore personal/public spaces, identities, intimacies and desires."
