Live Cinema is one of the branches of media art that revolves around image and sound. Being about ten years old, it distinguishes itself from other types of audiovisual media art by its live character. Live Cinema is a real time performance often using existing image and sound material, but which takes place once only in essence. In art history it can be positioned in the tradition of VJing, but also older ones such as the early twentieth century avant- garde film, the tradition of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the artistic pursuit of forms of synesthesia. The question here is: how do we approach Live Cinema from a semiotic point of view? For example, how does it relate to Vjing and what should be our focus in making this comparison? The spatial disposition, the functional significance and signification of their technologies, the hard- and software or rather the aesthetic presence of it and the way it is perceived? What does ' cinema ' in this context mean? Locating by comparisons is essential, because then it soon becomes clear that Live Cinema has primarily eliminated the narrative element of the canonized cinema, and that despite the meaning of the image, it certainly has as much kinship with electronic music, digital arts, abstract art and visualizations in the exact sciences. This raises questions about the status of the seeing and hearing and the relationship between them. Film semiotics has many traditions, of which the tradition that concentrates on the cinematic and audiovisual experience is one of the most interesting. Also here, in Live Cinema, it concerns cinematic experiences , event perception, and different modes of absorption, in which a revaluation of the notions of ‘event’ and ‘immersion’ is often named next to that of illusion, imagination and synesthetic experience. Just like performance and cinematic experience, Live Cinema generates dynamic, interactive processes, whereby a distinction should be made between the perspective of the creator and that of the public. That again appeals to other semiotic traditions to understand Live Cinema. Live Cinema is a challenge for semiotics!
