ERIC STEWART + JOHN DAVIS + BLACK HOLE LAB +
Teleporting in from Colorado is Process NegativeLab whiz Eric Stewart, to co-star in this hand-process showcase with our own East Bay film alchemists, in the first of four OPTRONICA events this season! Eric unspools three of his hand-made shorts, plus pieces by lab pals Taylor Dunne and Robert Schaller, before his 20-min. Meditations on the Life of a Star is live-tracked by much-loved synth maestro John Davis. The Vallejo-based Davis ups the ante by launching his own Night Country cyanotype filmwork–projected on multiple Analysts and live-sound-processed by Molly Fishman–and then reprising his masterful track married to Larry Jordan’s latest animation, Oz. The second half opens with the West Bay debut of work from Oakland’s brave Black Hole Lab: Matthew Hidy, Anna Geyer, Lauren Iverson, Zach Parrinella, Emily Chao, Alix Blevins, and Nicky Tavares.
