OFFF CDMX Main Titles

The OFFF CDMX Main Titles 2016 are directed and produced by MATERIA, an interdisciplinary collective, founded by Susi Sie and Remo Gambacciani.

The Main Titles for OFFF CDMX 2016 were produced by combining analog and digital techniques; blurring the boundaries to become one. Deeply inspired by the complexity of nature, MATERIA explores the uniqueness of highly detailed structures and organic shapes.

The score is composed and played by Nikolai von Sallwitz using real instruments (such as cello, bows, cymbals, woods, sticks and kalimba’s combined with voice and piezo mic) and hardware FX (such as analog synths, loads of stomp boxes like ring modulator, pitcher/octaver, delay, grain synthesis, reverbs, looper, filters and analog drum machine).

Kiran Gandhi x Joshua Davis x OFFF 2016 Barcelona

I was lucky to dance through the greatest performance ever dropped by mighty digital artist Joshua Davis at OFFF Festival. Teamed up with M.I.A's drummer Kiran Gandhi, Joshua created a live visual madness.

“A six month secret project incubated inside the Sub Rosa lab performed live at the OFFF Festival in Barcelona Spain. This 40 min rendering is from 27 unique, real-time, audio reactive systems to drive algorithmic animations. Each of the 27 animation systems we’re cue’d at key points in a 40 min track, with some new original music by Madame Gandhi, pre-mixed by Kiran and Alexia Riner. On stage, Kiran live drummed on top of the mix in addition to using OSC (Open Sound Control) to have her percussive hits change variables in the animation system. I also had a base set of variables that I could trigger via OSC that further controlled different aspects of the animation overall.”

— Joshua Davis

OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles by Signalnoise and Onesize

After Hector Ayuso had put Onesize in touch with graphic artist James White (aka Signalnoise) to collaborate on OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles, the question arose: "How will the styles ever mix?" They chose to give the audience a souvenir by printing the titles in the form of a card deck. Fifty three designs were made by James White and his team (back in Canada), while Onesize developed two 80s TV Commercials, selling the card deck and promising a better life for dysfunctional families.This film tells a story about Jason, a boy who bought this deck of cards 30 years ago as a last resort to save his family. It all turned out quite different for him and he blames Sean - the kid in the commercials - whose "no losers, only winners” catchphrase has eaten through Jason’s life like a cancer. Now, in present time, Jason’s journey of revenge is coming to a close. Before the film was shown to the audience at the festival, over 2000 printed versions of the card game where handed out to every single person in the room as "take-away titles".

OFFF Unmasked

We are still under the OFFF influence and one of the reason to visit the festival is to had a chance to get a special art book to complete your collection. This year VASAVA Studio presented their sacral work "OFFF UNMASKED" to the audience.

That what they said: "A new art book celebrating the 15th edition of Barcelona’s OFFF festival is as unique as the event itself. Featuring contributions from renowned illustrators and graphic designers, OFFF Unmasked is a journey into a parallel world, portraying the OFFF community as a mysterious cult with its own legends and rituals. Readers must peer behind the layers of myth to discover the real story of OFFF, its founders and its early supporters. The approach is in tune with the ethos of OFFF, which has always invited its guests to look beneath the surface of creativity.

The book’s host and mascot is Dr. Urgil Vataar, an academic who has made exposing the cult of OFFF his life’s work. This is the first time he has publically detailed his efforts to disentangle truth from fiction. The book was designed by Barcelona design studio Vasava in close collaboration with the OFFF team. It will be given away free to all those who attend the event, making it an extremely premium souvenir indeed. "
