MOTELX AV LAB

Get ready to dive into a world where creativity knows no bounds... Here comes the MOTELX AV LAB co-hosted by Liquid Sky Artistcollective!

MOTELX Film Festival, in collaboration with the Liquid Sky artist collective, presents the MOTELX AV Lab, a laboratorial programme that fuses electronic music and horror cinema, where you'll learn how to build your own electronic instruments. 

This is an invitation to join us on September 6 and 7, in the Beato Innovation District, for a disruptive (and intensive) exploration along the paths of audiovisual art, with DIY synthesiser workshops, jam sessions, concerts, performances and underground cinema.

Whether you're a budding musician, a filmmaker, a sound designer, or an artist intrigued by video installations and VJ art, MOTELX AV Lab is your playground. Our workshops are open to everyone — from those just starting out to seasoned professionals looking to expand their networks and spark new ideas. The only rule is that you have fun and challenge yourself (and, of course, handle the materials, your colleagues, and your fingertips with care).


What to Expect?

From exclusive demonstrations of brand new synthesisers and jam sessions with "homemade" instruments to making your own zombie scream generator or video glitcher – you can expect a bit of everything. This is an action-packed program in which you can anticipate all the possible verbs: to glitch, to mix, to weld, to watch, to listen, to learn, to play and to dance! You'll have the chance to meet some of the industry's most visionary inventors and, more importantly, learn from them the art of constructing the canvas that will allow you to paint soundscapes and galaxies, and produce experimental effects for your underground films and music.

Ah, and forget the traditional workshop format. At the MOTELX AV Lab, we’re ditching the lectures for a dynamic, interactive experience. The goal is to create your own sound instruments or join collective forces in live film remixing workshops and video art performances. Our workshop labs are designed to be participatory, and slightly messy, fostering an environment where creativity thrives.

Each of the two-day programme will start at around 12 noon (the exact times will be announced soon) and will seamlessly transition into evening events filled with concerts, synth showcases, and immersive underground / avant-garde TV shows. Our audiovisual jam sessions will not only allow you to show off your new skills and instruments, but will also allow you to meet  artists with similar ways of thinking about art.
Films will be announced soon
