female:pressure at MAK, Vienna 11.03.2008
For the ten-year anniversary of the "female:pressure" database the first DVD of the project is presented at the MAK NITE©. "female:pressure" is an international database of female DJs, producers and visual artists in the sphere of electronic music. The community project was launched to give greater visibility to female artists in electronic music. The database offers a comprehensive list of female artists from the field of VJs (video jockeys, music video-clip announcers) and visual artists. Initiated by the "Verein Stadtimpuls", Vienna, an additional production platform - "open:sounds" - was established to strengthen the media presence of video jockeys. In collaboration with the video artists listed on "female:pressure", the DVD was compiled from music pieces pooled by "open:sounds". In the center of the evening will be live performances by the Los Angeles based artist Margaret Noble and the Viennese artist Christina Nemec alias Chra. The live concerts by the two female musicians will be complemented with live visuals by Christina Goestl alias c++, Michaela Schwentner alias jade, and Astrid Steiner alias luma. The complete DVD pressing run will be given away for free as a booster to improve the public presence of the "female:pressure" artists.
