SONA: Wind, Rain, and Trains
Kurt Stallmann with Alfred Guzzetti and Ensō String Quartet
7:00 pm
|
SONA fuses environmental sounds and images based on Houston's surroundings: freight trains traveling through the city produce bellowing horns and deep rumblings juxtaposed with the rhythms of falling rain and the wind gusts of passing storms. In SONA, acoustic and digitally processed performances by the Ensō String Quartet are punctuated by railroad images that move across the horizon, while sounds of wind and rain surround the audience in a total sensory experience. Presented in collaboration with Aurora Picture Show. |

Thursday December 6
DeKam vs Nalepa
7:00 pm
|
A one-time-only, site-specific spectacle on the Buffalo Bayou, this environmental light and sound installation is the creation of video artist Johnny DeKam and composer / laptop musician Steve Nalepa. The show utilizes a special multi-moving mirror projection system, adding a new dimension to the visuals. Stroll beneath the bridges of the Sabine Promenade to experience DeKam's abstract moving geometries and architectural juxtapositions against Nalepa's electro-ambient "Left Coast Liquid" music. |

The map is a device of multiple powers. What happens when this device is purposely redirected by artists? You Are Here is a symposium featuring leading contemporary artists and researchers exploring the interplay between art and geography, activism and cultural studies. Can investigations of mapping, tracking and tactical media yield new forms of tourism, overwrite official boundaries with local ecologies, expose governmental secrets, and generate new ways of experiencing and understanding our physical environment?
Performances and presentations by Matt McCormick, Nato Thompson, Institute for Applied Autonomy, Center for Land Use Interpretation
Location: Aurora Picture Show, 800 Aurora Street
Admission: $6 on Friday; FREE ADMISSION on Saturday
