Hello Dani, thank you for accepting this interview. First of all, for the readers, can you make a little introduction of yourself?
My name is Dani Joss. I am first and foremost a musician and sound artist, working mostly within the realm of the electroacoustic medium, but also interested in intermedial and interactive art, and audiovisual installations. I have two personal music albums, Liquid Photography and Shaper of Form, the latter of which has received an international Qwartz award for research and experimentation.
The Imago films are my directorial debut. I am also a sound engineer, music producer, and acoustic designer.
I have lived in London and Berlin, while currently I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Tell me what is DIE WOLKE ART GROUP. Who are the members and what do you do?
Die Wolke Art Group is a non-profit research and development organisation dedicated to the performing arts, contemporary dance, video art, mixed media and associated technologies. Based in Thessaloniki, Greece, it is comprised of a rotating and ever-expanding cast of individual artists, thinkers, and technicians. Its chief aim is the research and development of outside-the-box multidisciplinary art, as well as its implications in the urban social context.
The founder is Drosia Triantaki, dancer and choreographer. Together with Aliki Iosafat and myself, we are the three core members that look after Vitruvian Thing, our headquarters, that is at the same time a small post-production studio and a venue for contemporary dance works, experimental music concerts, and short film screenings.
