[Text available only in English] In 2008 Irene Biga and Alessio Mangiavacchi, motivated from the passion into visual art, create Q2 Visual.
They start a collaboration with Mouseville Theme, a local cultural association in Tuscany, where they experiment their first visual performances, getting focused on their own style.
Their artistic path proceeds during techno parties in the clubs of the surroundings, it follows at Alterazioni Festival where, in the 2010 edition, they introduce the experimental performance “Noise Project B/W explosion” and in the 2011 edition they build “The Cube”, a visual interaction, where the dj plays inside a structure.

A Q2 Visual live vj-ing set is defined with 2D animations and motion graphics; they shape geometrical figures originally designed through the ultimate video mixing and compositing softwares. The variety of their performances is also based on the steady trial of different surfaces for projections. The research is growing with the latest Q2 Visual mapping experimentations.
In 2011 they have a collaborating with MothLab (www.mothlab.net) and its partners and they have been producing videos for the latest releases of the NYC label Nosi Music.
