Exciting news about a new artist collaboration between Salford and Hamamatsu, Japan. impaTV (Jamie Robinson, Isadora Darke) and Emma Thompson, Creative Director at Fat Out, join Japanese heavy psychedelic band Qujaku in an audio-visual collaboration that will take in alternative and independent music and art spaces in Hamamatsu, before returning to tour the UK in November. The collaboration will produce new work and the artists hope to make new contacts in Japan to establish longer-term connections between the two locations. The work will take Qujaku themselves into new performance territories incorporating methods of projection, lighting, costume, set design, motion tracking and body mapping with impaTV. We cannot wait to see/hear these results. Read more about this exciting partnership.
