Reunion of Auto Awac, cult art collective from the 1980s. Auto Awac was an Amsterdam-based collective founded by Kees de Groot and included other artists at different times, such as Emile Toorop, Ron Sluik and Frank Morssinkhof. They primarily used video in order to create ‘video diaries’ or ‘visual memos’. Often occurring in studio settings prepared by the artists, these activities included basic electronic music using analogue instruments and found objects, and spontaneous movement performances intended to bring out the subversive potential of video and performance art by undermining individual artistic control.

Reunion

To celebrate the publication of “The Interest of Science and Technology” in DVD form, together with a unique audio CD “DATAX VIDEO”, Ron Sluik, Kees de Groot and Emile Toorop reunited, performed and improvised. Expect the unexpected in a live collage of image and sound, with washing machines and found footage.
