My Master is a Collector
screen event/light installation
Using the entire theater, Cynthia Pachikara, Terri Sarris, and
Marianetta Porter offer a screen event/light installation - based on a
poetic work by Thylias Moss, Slave Moth. Employing a lighting
system comprised of projectors - including Michigan Theater’s own –
shadows and moving images are thrown from behind the audience and onto
the screen. Casting forward from the back of the space the work
attempts to explore structures of “veiled knowledge” and “implied
power” suggested in the poem as well as examine the frontally specific
orientation of the movie theater.

Orbit 2004
animation - window projection
Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion: Planets move in ellipses
with the Sun at one focus. A simple statement that forever
changed how we look at the environment around us. Inspired by the
scientific discovery of Johanas Kepler in the year 1605 that has made
it possible today to land probes on the surface of Mars, "Orbit" is my
artistic tribute to Kepler's insights into the workings of our
universe. "Orbit" is hand-drawn animation, animated, composited
and sequenced on the computer.

ROLLY WHOLLY OVER A TOUR
performative video installation
This device will give you the paradoxical experience of “ Now Here” and
“ No Where” at a same time with a sense of humor. The work consists of
two bicycles connected with a steel structure that has a shaft in its
center. By using this device the audiences can keep chasing each
other with circular motions. These actions will be projected on
the multi video screens through the wireless video transmitters
equipped on the bikes.
Accompanied by the video images of roads from different cities, the
riders keep wondering the space between image and real. |

Scotopic Turbulence : Crib and Sift
live 16mm film performance
SCOTOPIC TURBULENCE : CRIB AND SIFT
"Crib and Sift" is an array of screening possibilities for four film
print orientations made from an original 16 mm. ink sneeze. It is
a register of symbolic solutions devoted to deliberate obstruction and
calculated aimlessness recognizing that wreckage is often more
interesting than structure. By means of simultaneous projection,
the film orientations activate cinematic potential omitting the
artistic "error" of the camera eye favoring the fugitive chiaroscuro in
the automatic theater of the brain's emulsion. This program
consisting of "Circle Jerks" (2002),"Presepio" (2003), and
"Chiodo" (2003) will manifest the projector as the primary
utensil in an enfilade of scotopic visions requisitioned and
apportioned according to a rotary on - off swing.

Digital Canvas closing party
Ann Arbor Art Center
Wednesday March 17, 4:30-6:30pm
"Live video," a visual art form found at the crossroads of video,
performance, music, and painting, is usually presented in a club,
theater or other performance setting. For Digital Canvas, curator
Leslie Raymond recontextualizes this work in a gallery, employing still
images from live visual media performances to highlight a relationship
to the formal concerns of painting. Featuring work by area artists
Shenanigans, juLiE mEitZ, verzerren vs. bubblegone, Detroit Techno
Vision, and vjFutureWorkerGirl.
Digital Canvas runs February 20 - March 17, 2004
