The 1st FIBER Festival took place on January 15th 2011 at ‘De Verdieping’, the basement of the renowned club TrouwAmsterdam. More than 1200 visitors experienced the work of over 20 up-and-coming artists, such as Tarik Barri, Delta Funktionen, Deframe, and Beer van Geer among others. The programme included artist talks, AV-performances, workshops about visual software, a club night with live visuals.

With the first instalment of the festival we offered a new generation of artists, designers, musicians (DJ’s, VJ’s and producers) and developers a stage to explore the importance of sharing knowledge and combined efforts in order to realise an interdisciplinary experience of audiovisual art and music. Site specific collaborations between artists and visitors made the festival into an audiovisual laboratorium.
