The combination of live audio from the “micro-improvisations” (refined by musician Ivan Palacký) with live video manipulations (by video and VJ artist Filip Cenek aka VJ Vera Lukášová), Carpets Curtains expresses an interesting and nuanced interaction between audio and visual material. With vivid visuals mainly based on self-made video sequences, in which the emphasis is placed on ambiguous “narration,” while VJ software errors are used to achieve new, amoeba-like image qualities, the result is a principle or method of remaining fixed on moving images while cancelling out the essential aspects involved in constructing concrete meaning. These visual approaches find a parallel in Palacký’s delicate musicality, in which found objects and minimal electronics are merged to create elegantly small sonic mixtures.
