    PAD McLAUGHLIN’s 3-D + ORACLE PLUS + 

    For our fourth and final Live A/V initiative, we explore Spectral Spaces by way of both Stereoscopics and the Body-Once-Removed of closed-circuit TV! Marin-based McLaughlin returns with a new set of his much-loved three-dimensionalmagick.Utopian Dimensions is his hallucinatory half-hour of ‘hacked’ space andretinal-rivalry, that in fact addresses the early idealism of the internet. AND!~Miel &Steph Lister of Oakland’s Oracle Plusdebut a new piece as well, Phantom West, that plays on the presence and absence of real bodies and their TV ghosts. Opening the second half is Jeff Jefferson, setting upDream Machines on both sides of a video projection, so to let loose the wild words of his Graven Image. ALSO curious chronicles of electronic music–field recordings around Mills College in 1969 (shot by Les Blank!). PLUS clips from I Dream of Wires, including Clara Rockmore. Free OCD DVDS to the first 5 patrons.*$8
