.DAT: Deň audiovizuálnej tvorby

For the second time, .DAT will be held at KKC Hviezda in Trenčín in cooperation with the SPFM agency on Halloween, October 31.

While the first edition of .DAT Audiovisual Creation Day focused exclusively on digital culture, this year it is moving forward. The headliner of the evening is the band Berlin Manson, which will premiere its audiovisual concept prepared especially for .DAT. The visual aspect of the KKC Hviezda premises will be taken care of by light designer sedemminut.

The evening will kick off with Boris Vitázek and his audiovisual work Narrative Absence. This A/V piece is composed of his debut release Amalgam and new material from his upcoming album. It is a critical look at how corporate algorithms shape people's everyday narratives, their view of the world and their place in it. A fictional past, tools that are not under the user's control, and a powerful bass sound design. The mirror hall will also feature Boris's light and ambient installation, which will be active throughout the night.

An unrestrained element on the electronic scene, Kodiki will present his live act Your Excellence, which premiered in June. Kodiki has created a performance woven from everything he has experienced on the internet. He himself says that it is a "overstimulated kiss of melancholy on the cheek." This project includes new songs, unreleased songs, unseen visuals, all sped up. "A unique, new audiovisual show created with love for everyone who is online, even when they go out."

This year, the .DAT afterparty will once again be hosted by the techno collective Nočná. Starting at midnight, three well-known DJs will perform at the KKC Hviezda club:

Nina Farrina is best known for her thoughtful, hypnotic techno sets. A native of Trenčín, she is considered the most successful Slovak techno DJ of today – she regularly plays in Berlin and throughout Europe alongside world stars.

A faster tempo will be provided by SJ yellow, who specializes in hardgroove, breaks, trance, and 150+ BPM dance selections.

The event will be closed by the creator of the .DAT program, Matwe, who focuses on industrial techno, electro, breaks, and eclectic electronic music with subliminal political messages in his sets.
