  • NextNow.10: Special Visual Edition

    An evening of Visual/Sound improvisations: Live Improvised Music by zBug and Cartoon Justice.
    Kinetic and Short Video works by Alba RecluserDark, Greg Baker, Mika Pontecorvo, Meg Schoerke, Kersti Abrams, and more.

    THE SOUNDS:
    zBug; an industrial jazz unit based in San Francisco, CA that presents structured improvisational music sets based on the performance venue and compositional themes featuring David Leikam – moog rogue, electric bass-cello; Sheila Bosco – drums, percussion; Fred Malouf – electric guitar. http://davidleikam.net/projects_zbug.html
    “From the Structural Language of Jazz and a very Electronic Lexicon, zBug creates something entirely new in their unique conception and expression of Industrial Jazz…”

    Cartoon Justice: shape shifting improvisatory soundscapes ranging across many genres – from primal indigenous chant to modernist and electroacoustic formalisms to avant jazz and post-miles fusion. – with guest cellist Crystal Pascucci. http://cartoonjustice.edgebuzz.tv/

    THE VISUALS:
    RecluserDark is a photographer/artist from Barcelona. Her film work often involves industrial and natural landscape elements embedded in structure of cinematic rhythm and pacing evoking a moody foreboding with an intimate meditation on the modern human condition. http://recluserdark.com/

    Mika Pontecorvo’s kinetic video works are collaborations with ink/collage artists Meg Schoerke and Kersti Abarms…these works involve the subtle acyclic shadow play of light and dark offering a new take on the non-linear narrative elements of the pre-historic cave art tradition.

    Greg Baker’s kinetic video systems involves a direct interaction/reaction with the sonic world of the performance.

  • Volunteer Opportunity with The Prelinger Archives!

    Prelinger Archives seeks volunteers to assist in an ongoing project to inspect, repair and catalog its home movie and amateur film collection. These 16mm, 8mm and Super 8 films will be prepared for digitization and eventually shared on the Internet Archive. In exchange for their hard work, this program teaches participants archival film handling skills and provides them with an introduction to the history of small gauge cinema. Coordinated and taught by Antonella Bonfanti (moving image archivist and graduate of the Selznick Graduate Program in Film Preservation at George Eastman House) and Rick Prelinger, the program is conducted in small groups of 3 or 4 individuals at the Internet Archive in the lively Richmond District of San Francisco. During the first six months of the program, volunteers successfully processed over 800 items. The project’s focus has expanded to include Internet Archive’s extensive 35mm stock footage collection.
