Call for a Visual Developer The Analema Group are seeking a talented visual developer / graphics programmer who can help to take the KIMA project to the next level. We are looking for someone to take the lead on the visual development of KIMA in order to deliver stunning visuals for large installations and performances. Timeline: Immediate start, first event is on 4nd June, 2016. We are developing a project towards a series of events this summer including large scale events in August at the Roundhouse. About Analema Group We are a London-based Europe-wide arts collective creating new experiences that explore the intersection between art and technology. Our signature project KIMA was first presented to audiences at Kinetica Art Fair 2013. After that we have been showcased to a variety of audiences, including Bournemouth University, Kinetica Art Fair and Union Chapel. The culmination of our activity so far was our performance in Union Chapel last August. The project explores relationships between music and vision, sound and color, aiming to create immersive visual and music compositions for audiences and musicians. KIMA creates real-time interaction through the visual representation and expression of music. KIMA - meaning ‘wave’ in ancient Greek (‘kyma’) - interprets music as an interplay of light and form. As such, KIMA is an artistic quest for a new reading of sound through vision.
