As a duo, Carmen Jaci and Matthew Schoen have been collaborating since 2015 from the Netherlands, where they develop playful, animated projects and performances that investigate our interactions with technologies.
Matthew Schoen is a Canadian 3D artist and motion designer currently based in the Netherlands. In his artistic practice, he conceptualizes, models and animates familiar objects and spaces that are detached from their function and their original context, in order to be repurposed into new systems. He draws inspiration from machines to create networks of complex constructions. His work is heavily influenced by commercial graphic design and animation, having himself worked for many years as motion designer for television and film.
Carmen Jaci is a French-Canadian experimental music producer currently based in the Netherlands. Using hybrid sounds that merge acoustic instruments with synthesizers and vocal recordings, she constructs a sound world where electronic and classical music overlap. Over the years, she has crafted a personal and unique language which largely revolves around the ideas of discontinuity and formal deconstruction. Likewise, her work retains a subtly humorous tone as well as a highly polished sound production that almost reminds us of pop music.
Short Reel - 30 seconds
Full Show - 51 minutes
In this 50-minute live performance, visual artist Matthew Schoen and music producer Carmen Jaci combine their respective practices into an adventurous audiovisual performance grounded in experimental dance rhythms and 3D rendered visuals. They present an uninterrupted series of visuals and sounds that form a non-narrative and non-linear storyline. As sounds are triggered, visuals react, and a highly synchronised interplay emerges to express a poetic interpretation of our relationship to data and digital systems.
