The Amsterdam festival 5 days off kicked off with the opening of the exhibition “Optofonica presents: Crosswire – in search of the synesthetic effect” on Wednesday 2 July 08 at 18.30 hrs.

During opening :
7:30 pm performance Avatar Metaverse Orchestra
8:30 pm Aernoudt Jacobs

The Netherlands Media Art Institute presented in collaboration with 5 days off MEDIA the exhibition and performance series Crosswire. Crosswire comprised sound installations and audiovisual environments enabling immersive and spatial sonic experiences through bodily and multi-sensory perception. Whilst the various works offered different points of access to experience sound, they all unfolded their architectural or sculptural quality in the gallery. As a result, compositions became perceptible as holistic phenomena.

Crosswire was curated by Maurizio Martinucci on the basis of the Optofonica platform which was devoted to the presentation of the current state of art in synesthetic media and sound spatialization. At last year's 5 days off media festival Optofonica presented live performances and DVD -showreels. “Crosswire” is now the first exhibition by Optofonica.
