Mapping Festival

About Me


After four years of existence, the Mapping Festival is a platform for meeting and exchanging in ideas in the field of Vjing and real-time image manipulation. It features multimedia installations, performances, lectures, workshops and clubbing, highlighting the richness and variety of these disciplines.

Après quatre années d'existence, le Mapping Festival est une plateforme de rencontre et d'échanges autour du VJing et de la manipulation d'images en temps réel. La richesse et la diversité de ces disciplines y est ainsi mise en valeur au travers d'installations multimédia, performances, conférences, workshops et soirées.

FR 2009

Cette année, le Bâtiment d’art contemporain, le cinéma Spoutnik, le Zoo, la galerie Labo, L’Ecurie, Le Cabinet et –pour la première fois– plusieurs lieux urbains inédits, verront performances, installations, conférences, workshops et soirées prendre possession de leurs murs.

La grande nouveauté sera la projection urbaine qui habillera plusieurs bâtiments du centre ville, tandis que des projections mobiles, auxquelles vous serez invités à participer, se baladeront dans les quartiers environnants.

Mais aussi, au Spoutnik des projections de films spécialement choisis par l’équipe du cinéma, une compétition enflammée de VJs, des installations étonnantes et exclusives au Bac, une soirée dédiée à la création féminine au Zoo, une soirée bien déjantée à l’Ecurie et encore tant d’autres rendez-vous qui marqueront le fourmillement des disciplines hybrides présentes sur le festival.

This year, the Bâtiment d'Art Contemporain, the Spoutnik cinema, the Zoo club, the Labo gallery, l'Ecurie, le Cabinet and, for the first time, several urban locations, will host AV performances, installations, lectures, workshops and clubbing nights.

EN 2009

One of the most exciting new items this year will be the presentations of urban projections. Some of the leading artists in this field have been invited to transform the facades of several of Geneva's historical landmarks. Be on the alert as there will be several events involving mobile projections that will take place in neighboring areas.Also for the first time, the Spoutnik cinema will be the host of an international VJ contest. Come and see how contemporary VJ's stack up under the scrutiny of a panel of seasoned VJs.

As in previous editions some exclusive and surprising installations will be shown at the Building of Contemporary Art.

A night dedicated to female VJs at the Zoo club, a crazy A/V night will take place in the alternative venue l’Ecurie, and many more special events that will highlight the hive of activities of the hybrid disciplines presented in the festival!
