Organized by Ad Arte Fundation from Poznań, VIVISESJA is an innovative project aimed at both young and mature audience, interested in novel and interdiscplinary phenomena from the world of Art. The festival features exhibitions, meetings with artists, lectures, multimedia projections within the city and concerts and partie at clubs.
The first two editions, in 2008 and 2009, became very popular among media and the audience. We estimate the overall attendance during previous editions for 10 000 spectators. The events of the festival - such as electronic music concerts with live visualisations, exhibitions or demonstrations of short films and the art of video – were taking place at various locations of Poznań. Among musicians and authors of the visualisation were: Luke Vibert (Wielka Brytania); Oli Sorenson aka VJ Anyone (Great Britain); Bisou Gti Turboclub (France); Giraffentoast (Germany); Jazzsteppa (Great Britain) and 1A2V1 (Czech Republic).
The intensive doze of the newest achievements in interactive, performative and multimedia art., provided by VIVISESJA, contributed to the success of the two previous editions. This year, the offer is even more bountiful. It is enriched, for instance, by aimed at the artists two competitions, giving them the opportunity of promoting themselves under the VIVISESJA trademark.
Showreel Competition is an international competition for the best audiovisual portfolio – a multimedia sample of skills of a given artist or studio. The Musical T-shirt competition on the other hand, is aimed at artistically gifted students in secondary school, who would like present their musical fascination.
This year’s programme is also enhanced by unconventional artistic activities in public, which are going to release the festival to the streets, giving VIVISESJA the chance to reach even more audience. One of such events will be, known from New York and San Francisco, the first in Poland demonstration of the art of live image-mixing within the city. The Poznań Video Riot project will carry this concept over to the streets of Poznań. Equipped with high quality projectors transmission cars, will demonstrate a magnificent, audiovisual show. Thanks to this, the active participants as well as the casual passers-by, will have the opportunity to see the streets and buildings „animated” by visualisations.
The festival also includes many exhibitions presenting achievements in the field of Visual art, such as demonstration of the newest trends in practical graphics. There will be also a presentation of unique designer toys – vinyl toys for adults made by Polish and foreign makers – a Real bargain for collectors. You will have a chance to see the Works of Pete Fowler, known for the collaboration with Super Furry Animals. The Artist is going to show not only the toys of his own design, but also graphics and animations.

This year's program event will honor .: Robert Hood (USA) – founder of the legendary Underground Resistance, one of the forerunners of minimal music; Addictive TV (Great Britain) – considered to be the best in the world in visaualisation; Jahcoozi (Germany, Sri Lanka, Great Britain) – recording for the famous Bpitch Records, multinational, energetic trio which creates an attractive mix of electronic bits and sensual vocals; Frank Bretschneider (Germany) – on of the most recognizable authors in the world of intelligent electronica, who works under the trademark of Mille Plateaux or Pleq (Poland), an artist who serves portions of melancholic and experimental sounds at the same time.
