Live visuals for dancefloors
As Pixelflowers we always perform live, making visuals primarily for techno dancefloors.

Back offline! News on our live sets in March
Last Tuesday we supported two live concerts (Rtalin and Evripidis and His Tragedies) and a DJ set by Daddies On Acid at the underground club Loophole, the same small, dirty lovely venue where a couple of years ago we gave our very first live VJ performance.

Playing with chroma keying and green screens
In the usual Interzone and Daddies On Acid weekly shows, our live visuals take the whole screen; on November 27, together with djs Bergen and Hansi, we did something a bit different.
