PAF New York at Pioneer Works

The New York edition of PAF will be an evening of several audio visual installations and performances, utilizing the architecture of Pioneer Works as a platform for site specific interactions.

A group of more than ten international artists will participate in this “exhibition laboratory” exploring the interconnection of electronic music with the moving image through the process of live coding, light installations, and the amplification of a mechanical knitting machine. The installations in the space will continually evolve through images, sounds, and physical climbing interventions transforming the initial static layout of the exhibition to change and adapt throughout the program.

PAF was established in 2000 and is a Czech platform for moving image, animation, and contemporary art. PAF organizes yearlong dramaturgical and production activities, curatorial exhibitions, projections, and workshops, and publishes books within its own Edition PAF. Its main output is PAF—Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art held annually in Olomouc, Czech Republic, and whose 15th edition takes place December 1-4, 2016.
