Margrit Rieben, Dirk Bruinsma and Marko Kosnik started research on visual partituras in the summer 1998. In the two years period initiators developed collective cinematic form based on  shared conducting and modular improvisation with music and moving images.

Cameras set over the working "desk-top", ready for readjustment on the fly, were used for live sampling and recomposition of the gestures, performed by musicians playing their instruments. Mixed with an archive of digital movies and freshly captured material in hands of improvisers, manipulating various interfaces. videoinstrumentalism was born.
