Sansculotte is an artist collective producing live visuals, animated music videos and other imagery since 2002. Driven by their personal interest in rhythmically complex music beyond the 4/4 loop-based dance music dominating the clubs and the concepts of music- and VJ software, they felt the need to develop new approaches in both visual expression and rhythmic control. For the visual content, they adopt a policy of using their own animations only, thus avoiding "intellectual property" issues and keeping the aesthetic appearance consistent, complex and fresh, matching the fast paced music they are focused on performing to.
