Soundscape Performance with by Crew Called Shelf

Please join us for an exciting soundscape performance with by Crew Called Shelf on Saturday, February 1, 6-9pm. Multimedia producer and DJ @crewcalledshelf will be performing a live experimental sound session to coincide with the Hypervirtuality exhibition.

Crew Called Shelf will be manipulating a collective of analog machines and employing a variety of audio synthesis techniques to create a soundscape of controlled but random frequency modulations to interact with the sound and light elements in the exhibition.

About the exhibition:
Hypervirtuality presents a mash-up of physical reality and virtual reality created by three artists that utilize technology to examine and understand our relationships to one another and our surroundings in the digital age. The artists present narratives that explore diverse interrelated environments that are natural, virtual, social and political. 
  
Taezoo Park’s digital sculptures Singularity from his Digital Being series allows the viewer to communicate with a presence/being that is embodied inside discarded technological debris. It reacts to our advances. It responds to our touch. It senses our presence and reacts to our every move. What is it trying to tells us? What are we communicating to each other?  In Jeremiah Teipen’s Touchface, virtual forms protrude into physical space and physical forms are digitized to explore the overlap between the virtual and physical where everything is at once familiar yet alien. Teipen creates surreal trance-inducing environments that is digitally vacuous yet richly sensuous.  Yaloo creates her projection mapping sculptures using both physically sculpted and animated elements in virtual reality that is then projected as video onto a physical form. The resulting work is a surreal projection filled with transcultural icons that exudes color and sensuality, in another words it is lush visual state of gluttony.
