Eyes and Ears Pacific Vortex:
an afternoon matinee of experimental media art and music curated by Eric Ostrowski of Seattle and Carl Diehl of Portland that features films, videos and live performances. The artists included in this program provoke previously imperceptible art forms from malfunctioning apparatuses, cultural detritus, and other residual media. From live video improvisations to calculated re-animation, from dada-mined archives to wormhole theories of collage this event celebrates anomalous audio-visual pursuits.
