3RD HAND COLLECTIVE + TRIGILIO + SCOBIE + BARTEN +
A special feature of every OC calendar, our Live A/V shows proudly showcase a particularly West Coast cine-practice: Motion Picture pieces PLUS Sound tracks, respectively, performed in situ and in real-time conversation! Headlining this first of a program-pair is the much-loved Frisco ensemble Third Hand, a multi-tasking multi-media crew organized around, in this case, J Lee’s truly marvelous Rear-Projection stagings—here in Operation Theater they explore the living mechanics of the human body, as probed by electronic sensors. Jetting up from San Diego is ex-SF hero-artist Mike Trigilio, who’s taking a break from his UCSD duties to debut his dazzling digi-animations, both as single-channel abstractions and as in-the-moment video-synthesizer performances. Our beatnik homegirl Linda Scobie also dives in to demonstrate what she’s been up to with her water-color painting on found 35mm slides, tonight in collaboration with audio-artists Country Dolls. AND Rebecca Barten graces us with her presence and the world premiere of her Amelia–yes, on that amazing aviatrix. ATA janitor Craig Baldwin sweeps into the mix his stereoscopic twin-projection Double Helix, after a playful potpourri of optical tricks punctuate the pre-show reception! $14
