Aurora Picture Show presents the fifth annual Media Archeology Festival April 17-19, 2008. Featuring events at DiverseWorks Art Space, the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, and Rice University, the three-day festival is supported in part by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at University of Houston and 91.7 KTRU-FM (Rice University Radio). Curated by Aurora Artistic Director Andrea Grover and New York musician/curator Nick Hallett, this year's festival is titled Media Archeology: Live and Televised and features multimedia artists who incorporate audio/visual technology with live performance. Each of the performers uses pre-recorded video and audio to create a mise-en-scène of projected sets, props, and environments--sometimes creating a stage, a sound-scape, or an entire cast.
The festival kicks off with a performance by legendary culture jammers Negativland, returning to Houston for the first time in eight years. Animator and performer Brent Green takes over the second night with live narration and music (by Brent Green, Howe Gelb and Jeremy Gara) to accompany Green's stop- animation films, and video and performance artists Tara Mateik and Shana Moulton round out the closing night of the festival.
