If you’re into the audiovisual experiment, then Worm is The Place to visit. I do volunteering work there as a bartender or ticket collector zombie twice every month. They have been homeless six months and now their new home it’s finisheeeed! Like their old location, it’s made with re-used parts from all over the place, like swimmingpool-lockers, airplane-shields, vintage train fake leather and even lightbulbs from Russia. It’s a co-operation between 2012 Architects and Atelier van Lieshout, two famous Dutch architecture/art-studios.

Worm is a center for everything around low-tech audiovisual experiments. Think workshops, super8 & 16mm film editing, studio recordings, a radio show, a mini-shop for music/books and just check the site for what else. Last but foremost: parties.

Sometimes, the bizarre noise-scapes by artists from Brugaslivanivostockcewitz can be a bit too much for me personally, but just the other day I was fascinated by a 1 hour movie about making bricks in different countries (professional distortion maybe). In the new location they claim to be no more commercial then before, though working on african funk yesterday till 5 in the night, I’m not sure. Definitely give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s all in the experiment.

What I like most is Worm’s ability to combine abstract sound & image with a very warm and welcoming feeling. It got me hooked from the first visit.
