Animula is one of the most complex video artwork from the recent production of Otolab, experimental electronic audiovisual collective. Conceived and realized under the 5+1 sound-video installation dictates, Animula is an opera with the multi-screen spazializated live media potentialities as well. Animula is an audiovisual project with a concept focused on a strong organic-digital dualism, obtained through a sage work on 3d video and electronic music. Otolab was born in 2001 in Milan as an affinity group made up of musicians, djs, vjs, video artists, video makers, web designers, graphic designers and architects who embarked on a common path within electronic music and audiovisual research. Otolab projects evolve through laboratory, seminar and liveset activities following principles of mutual exchange and support, free dissemination of knowledge and experimentation. The work-group is composed of individual and collective projects ranging from djing/vjing sets up to livemedia and interactive installations, always investigating a symbiotic relationship between sounds and images. These three years of life have seen otolab being invited to national and international festivals where it has presented its livesets, project presentations and installations, besides having promoted self-managed cultural initiatives.
Otolab's "Animula," pairs animation suggestive of caged electronic fireflies and clangorous buzzing and combustion.
