Into the Universes

About

Into the Universes is an audiovisual event series based in Amsterdam, presented by Stichting voor de Vage Kunsten. Each edition pairs live electronic music with visual artists producing imagery in real time, across roughly three hours.

The foundation exists to encourage cross-pollination between experimental electronic music and visual art. The series is built as a space where artists can experiment, collaborate, and develop new work outside the conventional club context, and where a community of makers and audiences can form around it.

Editions have taken place at DOKA in Amsterdam and in collaboration with partners including IKLEKTIC in London and ZeroBPM during Amsterdam Dance Event. The series has been supported by the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst.
