The Velvet Factory streaming exchange, January 20th from 2pm - 7pm PST.

Roberto Paci Dalò will work with Steve Heimbecker and others in Vancouver - creating a stream to be used in Rimini in a new space - The Velvet Factory. It is a 2500 square-metre venue where the streaming from Vancouver will be used to create the visual and audio environment through the night.

Rimini's Velvet Rock Club expands with the creation of Velvet Factory: a creation lab and a residence place in a 2500 m-sq space on Rimini's hills, a few minutes from the sea. From sound to cinema (with a particular attention on documentary, animation and live cinema), passing through performing arts (dance, music, theatre), radio, visual arts, design, architecture, words, philosophy. For a culture of the creative city and the cultural district, mixed media and project culture, dramaturgy, contemporary arts' language and electronics.

Velvet Factory is curated by Roberto Paci Dalò, Thomas Balsamini, and Lucia Chiavari with the collaboration of Mario Lupano, Leonardo Montecchi and the consultation of Pier Luigi Sacco, one of the most renowed worldwide experts about the "creative city" and the cultural district.
