Residence #6, Pensive Vivifier, summer 2024

home

Pensive Vivifier brings digital and physical worlds together. The anti-disciplinary ensemble moves between video art, performance, musical composition and clubbing. Everything takes place in the same cosmos, influences and reinforces each other. We connect content from all corners of the internet with an associative method, sampling, humor and music. We tell personal stories about addiction, bullying and love. We bridge gaps and explore the space between what is polarized. We create an intimate moment in the overwhelming flow of information.

During their residency, Pensive Vivifier dives into Asko|Schönberg’s image and sound archives and collaborates with violinist Noa and trombonist Koen to talk about their relationship to that heritage. In addition, the musicians improvise their own (subsidiary) instruments. Pensive Vivifier then edits the audio recordings of this among their video compositions.
