04.27.07:::Trace Element @ Crosswired!
Henry Strange and Laura Escude will perform together for a special
appearance as Trace Element at Crosswired this Friday at A+D
Architecture and Design Museum. They will be paired up with VJ
Culture aka Grant Davis (Lumens). Prolific glitch technician Ken
Gibson (Adjunct Records) will also be featured alongside visual
artist Synesthete aka Todd Thille (Artificialeyes.tv).
Crosswired is an interactive, architectural installation and audio/
visual performance series that explores the confluence of architecture,
design, experimental electronic music and motion visual art. It is
presented in partnership with A+D Architecture and Design Museum
and sole sponsor SKYY90 Design Collective. The installation will be up
from April 20 to May 13. Every Friday, Crosswired will feature two live
performances by experimental electronic music and motion visual artist
pairs.
Series organizer and audio co-curator Constant Flux worked with audio
co-curator Sarah Chambliss (The Designed Disorder, PAX, ELM) and
motion visual artist curator Surya Buchwald (Los Angeles Visual Artists)
to organize the audio/visual performance series, and Workshop Levitas
created the symbiotic, architectural installation. The installation is
designed to interact with the audience and visitors are encouraged to
return during the rest of the week to explore it.
Interspersed, streaming installation visuals provided by i PROMISE 2 BE
YOU [logo] (ipromise2beyou.com), an episodic mix of electronic music
and visual art featuring the best in music videos and independent
experimental shorts crafted by avant garde neo-noir film artisans from
around the globe.
