Experimental Intermedia is excited and honored to present the work of live visuals pioneer Tony Martin in collaboration with Margot Farrington and early video pioneer and historian Davidson Gigliotti as respondent/moderator. The second set will be played by Thomas Dexter (live films).
OptoSonic Tea is a regular series of meetings dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sound which focuses on the visual component. These presentation-and-discussion meetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film, live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the different ways they can come into interaction with live audio. Each evening features two different live visual artists or groups of artists who each perform a set with the live sound artists of their choice. The presentations are followed by an informal discussion about the artists’ practices over a cup of green tea. A third artist, from previous generations of visualists or related fields, is invited specifically to participate in this discussion so as to create a dialogue between current and past practices and provide differentperspectives on the present and the future.
Organized by Katherine Liberovskaya and Ursula Scherrer.
