As part of ADE (Amsterdam Dance Events) NIGHT VISIONS invites you on a journey to explore the dynamic convergence of immersive art and nightlife. Discover how these two dynamic worlds are increasingly blending and reshaping the landscape of electronic music. This hybrid event features two workshops and a live A/V performance, and brings together three artists that are at the forefront of this new movement: Gizem Öz, Pauric Freeman and Sebastiaan Smink.

The first half of the event features workshop-lectures by Gizem Öz and Pauric Freeman. They'll share their experiences, techniques, and vision for creating immersive experiences that transcend traditional boundaries between art and nightlife. We'll uncover the creative processes—both conceptual and technical—behind groundbreaking projects that merge art, technology, and nightlife. Whether you're an artist, developer, club owner, or simply curious about this evolving landscape, this event offers valuable insights and inspiration. In the second half, there will be an audiovisual performance from Pauric Freeman, presenting his work Structures.

Composed for modular synthesizers, drum machines, and generative visuals, the performance challenges the audience to reimagine their perception of sound through the integration of visuals, constantly developing and dismantling the relationships between music and image.

After the presentations and performance, there is room for drinks and networking. This is your chance to connect with industry professionals, fellow artists, developers, and event organizers working at the intersection of nightlife, music, and immersive art.
