Argentina Buenos Aires

Argentina, Buenos Aires
and extremely involved in the underground digital arts movement known as the “demoscene”, as well as being influenced by technology and its progresses during the 80s and 90s, the members of kiken.corporation (http://kikencorp.com) are part of the argentinian audiovisual scene since their teenage days, though formed as a group only in the year 2000.That year they started their interest on the creation of visual content for their live display at electronic music events. This spawned their “VJ systems” set, with which, since then, they have seen themselves involved in the biggest electronic music events of South America, including Creamfields Buenos aires, Chile and Punta del Este, Southfest, TIM Festival and Skol Beats in Brazil, Sun Tour and more in Chile, Blip Festival in USA, among others, letting them perform alongside some of the most reknowned local and international artists of the electronic music world. They are also actively involved in the organization of a LatinAmerican “wing” of the AVIT movement ( http://avit.info ), kickstarted in 2004 with a series of events taking place in South America.They are, as of yet, the most worldwide-touring VJ crew in South America and the one with most global recognition, being referrential to anyone regarding the southamerican scene, and having appearances in many press interviews worldwide, and D-Fuse’s VJBOOK“8GB” ( http://kikencorp.com/8GB ) aims to show what really is possible with the audio/video integration completely performed live as a whole, and hopefully inspiring other interested people to go the A/V route.Akira, producing music since early age when being a part of the demoscene, always focused his interest in vintage computer equipment for various creative purposes. This led him to start developing music with these “obsolete” machines, specially after discovering the wonders of Gameboy music composing with the LSDJ software, and after a long time of tracking in the Amiga. “8GB” integrates these technologies with modern ones in a completely sinergistic audiovisual environment.
