Back with the finale of his Rocket Opera trilogy is Mission Renaissance man David Cox! His ensemble epic consummates his quest for a musical translation of the Space Race, especially in the figures of Tereshkova and Ride. His keys cue collaborators John Smalley, Rachel Levin, Jonathan Parnell, Zac Fisher, Jono Jones, Molly Hankwitz, and Simon Cox. After intermission, the focus moves from outer to inner space: Beaming in from LA, Andre Perkowski premieres his VR Stigmata of Palmer Luckey, an immersive exploration of the Augmented-Reality revolution in the offing! Andre‘s adroit editing and bottomless humor are in full effect in this inside (and over-the-top) scoop on our new virtual-reality wunderkind. ALSO erotic VR! AND Welles‘ Future Shock, Rosentrater‘s Star Wars Wars, Henning Frederik Malz‘ Rest in Me, speculative treats from Soda_Jerk and Jordan Belson, Remotely Controlled Aerial Vehicle, ad astra. *$9
