Party with Vj Chocobeets + DJ Claire

Vj Chocobeets + DJ CLaire
6PM-10PM

Vj Chocobeets - aka Caroline Blais is a visual artist working and living in Montreal, Canada. She creates under the name Chocobeets since 2005. Why Chocobeets? Well, because she likes chocolate, beets, and finds interesting to make strange mixes and create an unexpected result.

Claire is a radical goddess from outer space. The daughter of a mad scientist and a violinist, she has an endless fascination with the intersections between random objects, performance, and electronic music.
