This year's Warp Zone Art Show at De Vondelbunker will include the fantastic "Cello Fortress" by Joost van Donge, a unique game experience combining games and a live music performance at 16:00.

A cellist defends a fortress by improvising on his cello. Melodies control the guns, dissonant notes activate the flamethrowers. Players from the audience use game controllers to steer their tanks and attack the fortress. The cellist plays live music, while at the same time controlling the game to be a fun challenge for the players. Cello Fortress is an innovative experiment that blends concert and game. 
PROGRAM :
Doors open 13:00
with gaming, art, merch and installations all day
Official opening and Music Performance by The Consoldiers 15:00
Cello Fortress 16:00
Free Fringe Music Night from 20:00
