Live Cinema by HERE & NOW
Echo, No Resonance is a joint creation, an investigation of live performance, between generative artist Andreas Rau and the artistic collective HERE & NOW.
Each artwork minted serves as a unique memory of a live cinematic experience that can only be witnessed once in real-time during the moment of its creation, and only for Mint Pass holders.
The Live Performance By Here & Now
On the 8th of December, the film ‘Echo, No Resonance’ will be shot, performed, and edited live around the streets of Melbourne and streamed in real-time for mint pass holders on verse.works and in a cinema in Melbourne, Australia.
Directed by Michael Beets and S.C. Wilson, Echo, No Resonance follows a cast of street dwellers whose lives intricately intersect and collide over the course of a single electrifying evening. Follow HERE & NOW on twitter for behind the scenes content as they prepare for the experience.
The Art By Andreas Rau
Moments from the live cinematic experience, chosen by an algorithm, will become visual artworks minted on the Ethereum blockchain for each Mint Pass holder. This randomised process elevates both ordinary and extraordinary moments, creating unique echoes of a film that can only be seen once, and never again.
As the film hasn't been recorded yet, watch some test footage below.
