ICIAP 2025 invites you to step on stage and perform your live visual set in sync with a DJ during the official ICIAP 2025 party.
THE CHALLENGE
Selected participants will be part of a live VJ set, accompanying the music of a professional DJ performing on stage.
Your goal: create visuals live, in real time, that move with the music, surprise the audience, and show off your skills.
The contest will be judged in a unique way:
50% Jury vote – international experts from visual arts, academia, and live performance
50% Audience vote – live voting via QR code or link during the event
This challenge will be one of the highlights of the ICIAP 2025 night event on September 18 at Circolo degli Illuminati.
