Case of Emergency
Live Electronics, Live Cinema, Live Painting
performance project by MedeaElectronique
Case of Emergency is the project title of this performance that deals, exposes, comments on the ongoing multi level decay of the historical (and not only) part of down town Athens’ centre.
Athens (Greece’s capital), like most EU capitals, caries a sequence of historical events, tendencies and particularities that are embodied, in a variable percentage, in many aspects of the city’s contemporary life.
An aspect, that has a big impact and greatly shapes our habitat, is the city’s Buildings (e.i. architecture) streets and land marks. Our “walkthrough” starts exactly here.

MedeaElectronique organizes Koumaria fall residency offering a week’s retreat for media artists in rural Sparta, Greece.
At the foot of Mount Taigetos, a huge private olive grove will be transformed into a laboratory for contemporary art. Offering a 400 square meter residency made into a mixed media art studio, we aim to bring together artists of different disciplines in order to develop a collective mixed media art project.
