MXZEHN considers itself as a visual label. The
different Artists and Formations that are represented by MXZEHN
share a commune vision of live visuals as the result of more
than 5 years of experience in live visuals and research.
A very high artistic quality and the almost
complete abstractness of the procedurally generated imagery
beyond the usual aesthetics of advertising and music videos
are characteristic for MXZEHN artists.
The animations are generated in the same moment as they are
perceived. The image is picturing nothing except itself.
It is part of a process that is being formed by the artist and
watched by the audience. It is like a horserace, a dogfight,
an atlantics crossing,
It is live.
The work of MXZEHN is similar to jazz. Predefined
arrangements (for MXZEHN the setup the way the instruments
are wired up with each other) serve as a base for spontaneous
improvisations of the performer. Like with a musical instrument
the image becomes static when the performer stops playing.
To gain that maximum performability MXZEHN
plays mainly on video hardware. Cameras, different (vintage)
video mixers, color-correctors, monitors and switches and as
lead-instrument
the Panasonic WJ-MX-10. The MX-10 serves as basic graphics generator
- not only for live performances but also for studio productions.
The studio tracks are used ascompositing sources for short films
and visual DVD albums.
