Astral Projections TONIGHT
Joe Grimm & Ben Russell (ASTRAL) PROJECTIONSSaturday, August 22, 2009 6pm-10pm VEGA ESTATES: 723 W. 16th Street Chicago, Il 60616JOE GRIMM : The World of Things In Themselves Joe Grimm's current projector work negotiates the space between the physically real and the perceptually real; between noumena and phenomena. Modified 16mm projectors produce flicker rates with speeds that vary in complex curves over time, producing complex visual interrelationships governed by chance-based algorithms. Photosensitive circuitry translates these light waves into sound waves, sonifying flickers that are sometimes slow enough to be visible to the eye -- and sometimes fast enough to be perceived only by the ear. Grimm will create a monolithic light/noise installation that goes literally to the limits of the senses and beyond them, provoking a confrontation with that ultimate unattainable reality: The World of Things In Themselves. BEN RUSSELL : AN INCANTATION FOR ETERNITY (2009, 16mm projectors, 16mm film loops, prisms, mirrors, electronics) A makeshift CONE OF LIGHT. Five 16mm projectors in a ring on the base, canted upwards, five film loops (239 frames black. 1 frame clear) racketing through their gears. That din alone is a wall, softened by the second ring of rainbow cables and homemade pedals: a floor of sound, raised off the floor. The third ring, a circle of speakers. Inputs lead to speaker outputs, feedback loops building a complex of rhythms from the single pop and scratch that each projector emits, 1 second delayed from each burst of light. Each projector burst, 10 seconds apart, bouncing off a mirror on the adjacent wall, reflected back through a prism hovering at the tip of the cone. CONE OF LIGHT as counterpoint to WALL OF SOUND. Single-frame rainbow for a shuttered space. Oh! and when they meet up, when those five projector loops all coincide through some trick of time (nothing moves as quickly as everything else, after all), a rainbow pentagram is quick-sketched in the air above: AN INCANTATION FOR ETERNITY This show is going to be soooo epic, hope to see you there! Bunker Home Brew and Homemade Vega ice cream (sea salt caramel) will be served!
Item of the WEEK: SILK FLOWERS
On this self-titled debut, Silk Flowers play rough-textured, electronic pop that sounds like it was pressed from a worn out cassette. A percolating grid of swelling, anthemic keyboards, analog-heaven tap echo, crackling, sometimes dub-like rhythms, and carefully counterbalanced vocals. {module_product,34238,795124} {module_product,34237,795123}P.S. We now offer a new econo shipping method, so get shopping!
Jessica Paulson Finds the Missing Link
1. My mom’s secret blog Tarweed she didn’t tell me about it until last week. This way I can try to keep up with her California-centric hikes.2. & 3. Two blogs that get updated fairly regularly from rad dudes: Something Home Something & Man Made Lakes.4. Japanese cooking videos narrated by a grey poodle: Cooking with Dog5. I recently had the pleasure of meeting this petite young lady. Sometimes her blog makes me feel a little old and boring. 6. Set is a nerdy online version of the card game.7. Woolly Pockets are my new planting obsession.8. Dreamy Japanese masking tape.9. My future vacation to the Land of Lost Luggage.10. Easier than shifting through the my archives of unread issues./Jessica Paulson is an artist and co-designer of the jewelry line LULU. She has a brand new blog that we're psyched on. {module_product,34243,486265} {module_product,34243,486266}
