"Expanded Cinema" - Oxfordreference.com

"In general, moving-image work that transcends the normal constraints of cinema projection. An avant-garde performance practice originating in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly in Europe and North America, involving multimedia performances—including, for example, video, music, television, computer art, laser shows, shadow play, and live art—alongside film images projected on single screens, multiple screens, or no screens."



Sync’d Presents: A Night of Expanded Cinema

Featuring:


Northern Lights Projections + Telavision

Northern Lights Projections (Laura Jean Kahl and Ross Nugent) will be providing a multi-projector expanded cinema performance utilizing recycled 16mm films, color filters, hand-jives, etc.

Telavision will accompany them with hypnotic r&b/gospel textures triggered via an Akai MPC1000 alongside layered instrumentation.

Droning Brightness + Dirtbag

Droning Brightness (Keith Foster) blends classic video processing techniques with modern video synthesizers combining elements of light and sound, generating hypnotic weaving of color and reactive pulsations of luminescence.

Meanwhile, dirtbag employs gritty synthesizers, mangled samples, and light-reactive instruments to create rhythmic, swirling, never ending drone noise chaos explorations.


Friendly Spinach + Luke Starcher

Friendly Spinach (Yoni Maltsman) will prepare for the audience a spinach smoothie by throwing conductive yarn, livecoded visuals, a servo motor, a free crystal from a generous chandelier store owner, a webcam that sees itself, and maybe even some spinach into the spinach blender, a semi autonomous graphics processing unit. His visuals will mobilize the audience in his environmentally driven mission: "save kale, eat spinach."

Luke Starcher (aka Good Dude Lojack) is providing electronic delight by way of guitar, sample experimentation, and ever evolving pedals, providing a lush and delicate balance of soundscapes and rhythm.
