PEOPLE OF LIGHT (Interactive Video-Art)
- Place: Villa Anna - Largo Mouzinho de Albuquerque, 4
The installation assumes that humans are like portals where, through a Kinect camera, their silhouettes open the doors of an obscure and abstract universe to a colourful universe. The objective is to provoke the reflection on the connection of two distinct spaces, real and virtual, having as condition of possibility the human presence. A light analogy to good and evil, where the living and conscious human figure is the connection to a universe of colour overlapping the darkness.
DATA7 is a member of VJs Anonymous, a group that meets in this AURA edition to create an interactive video installation, live and direct.
Vj's Anonymous is a collective of men and women who meet monthly to share their VJ experiences. The only requirement for membership is to be VJ. There is no need to pay admission fees or quotas, just show up and share experiences with the rest of the group, for mutual support in combating the downfall of lumens and projections.
VJ DATA7 (Daniel Rondulha)
Daniel Rondulha was born on October 1, 1982, in Lisbon, Portugal. He graduated in Design at the University of Aveiro but had already contact with other areas such as music, theatre and radio. Videojamming appeared in 2001, through a group formed in Aveiro with fellow students, which opened the door to the world of video. Since 2004 as a freelancer, he has organized several music and video events, mostly in the area of Vila Franca de Xira. In 2005 he began to participate in parties and events in Lisbon, having already been resident in discotheques in the capital and surroundings. In addition to working as a VJ, his background is in Graphic Design and currently works in motion graphics, video and post-production/VFX. In his live performance, you see an understanding and synchronism with the music, which makes his performances a pleasant and dynamic visual spectacle. He recently invested in videomapping and fulldome techniques and also works in theatre, installations, dance and multidisciplinary projects. He is also co-founder of the visual collective VBomb, based in Lisbon. It is also an integral part of several initiatives to be held in Lisbon since 2017, all aimed at the vj's community, where it aims to promote video art, integration of new players in the world of vj'ing, clarification meetings, jam sessions and others.
