Karas is a performative group formed by Leonardo Boldrin and Serena Borgatello in 2005.
Leonardo Boldrin was born in Mestre-Venice in 1980, Serena Borgatello was born in Mestre-Venice in 1983. They both live and study in Mestre-Venice (Italy).
Karas studies the interaction of music and video using digital live medias.
Before forming the group Karas, Serena & Leonardo had a group with a third guy, and they participated as “group Luther Blisset” to the 12° edition of the BJCEM, in Naples in 2005, with the video “Sub_Liminal”, and to the event “Action in Media” in Rome in 2006.
In 2006, Karas participated to the “Notte Bianca” in Mestre, with the live performance “Cellular Glitch”; to the Biennale of Architecture of Venice with the performance “Antimateria”, performed in Venice-Giudecca at the CZ95 Cultural Centre and to the “ArteFiera” in Padua.
In 2007, Karas participated to the 52° edition of the International Biennale of Art of Venice with the performance “Antimateria” and to the event “Changing Time-Tempo Mutevole” in Venice.
Leonardo Boldrin has graduated at the Academy of fine arts of Venice in 2006, and now he studies Composition and New Technologies at the Conservatoire of Music “Benedetto Marcello” of Venice. In may 2007 he participated at “10x1”, a collective concert of 10 young composers for piano. In july 2007 his piece “Interazioni” for piano, disklavier and digital sound was selected and played for the vernissage of the exhibition “Artempo” at Palazzo Fortuny in Venice.
In September 2007 his piece “Echi” for voice and live electronics was played at the event “Comodamente” at Vittorio Veneto.
Serena Borgatello has graduated in 2006 in Chemical Sciences and Technologies for Conservation and Restoration at University Ca’ Foscari of Venice. Now she studies for the second level degree in Chemical Sciences for Conservation and Restoration at University Ca’ Foscari of Venice.
Serena is interested in science of combining colours with different media, expecially with the video, and she studies in her works the theory of chaos.
“Antimateria” (duration approx. 30 min.) is a live digital media act, an audio/video performance in real time that develops the evolution of the matter and of his representation.
This digital live media act takes place in 3 moments, approx 10 min. each: the first part explores simple geometric shapes in the space. The video, controlled in live time with a controller midi, shows simple solid figures in wireframe, such as pyramids and cubes, that interact with the music.
In the second part the matter, interacting with the space, evolves in a corpuscular structure, then, in the third part it evolves in an urban structure.
The music of “Antimateria”, all controlled in live, is formed by both syntetic and sampled sound.
The music can be optionally diffused by two or four speakers.
“Antimateria” is realized both for the video part and the music part using algorithmic patches developed on Max/MSP/Jitter.
This is an extract from the performance of 30 min.
