I'm late and I suck

a friend at gridskipper had asked me contribute a couple of posts for today's "LA Day" and I was too slow. sent a couple of posts today after posting was done, so I feel both guilty I missed the deadline and missed the opportunity to promote jesse's performance this weekend at calart's "half hour" festival. unfortunately I wont be able to attend jesse's piece because of matteo's 30th birthday party, but at the very least I can post info on his work. jesse will be "doing spatial/matrix sound with some kickass improvisers."I don't know what that means exactly but it sounds cool. and its free.

"Chasing the Pools" is a 2-hour durational non-looping event. Live-feed cameras will fold movement of the dancers, under the choreographic eye of Hoefner, into the mix. The grove will become Gilbert's arena to spatialize the soundscape of Adamis and Stinson. The projections will present a continuous moving tableau for this to take place. Viewers are invited to roam and/or bring folding chairs/blankets to camp out.

Interdisciplinary artist CAROLE KIM has focused her practice on time-based performance/installations combining digital/new media technologies and the sensitivity of the improvisational live performer. KIM is interested in emphasizing the malleable materiality of video and the illusory architecture of layered video projection. The performances are immersive environments that support an integrated reciprocal exchange between sound, image, movement, space.
