Animating Sounds, Spaces, Events, and Places
by PAUL FLETCHER (AU)

Paul Fletcher is a restless, prolific experimenter who has spent many years creating music, short films, and animation. His internationally recognized practice began in high school with analogue tools like Super 8 cameras, homemade instruments, and hacked reel-to-reel recorders. Digital technologies now give him greater freedom to improvise, edit, and refine, yet the DIY ethos of 1980s punk continues to guide his work.

This presentation is an in-depth look at processes, results, unsolved mysteries, and endless fascinations from years of continuous experimentation. Taking the form of an audiovisual performance, the presentation combined sound design, film screenings, spoken dialogue, and practical demonstrations.

Celebrating pure Form, Colour, Motion and Sound, Punto y Raya breaks free from the conventions of traditional representational art. Artists from around the world explore abstraction as a universal language, capable of generating unique perceptual and sensory experiences while pushing its limits and possibilities. The festival showcases both established pioneers and a new wave of experimental creators.

The 9th edition of World Festival for Abstract Art in Motion featured the Official Competition (99 films from 37 countries), the Student Competition (31 films from 12 countries), Guest Panoramas from Hungary and the Balkans, Masterclasses, and deluxe Live AV performances by Myriam Boucher (CA), Max Hattler (DE/HK) + Sune Petersen (DK), and Mario Radev (BG).
