SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED--ARRIVE EARLY!

We've borrowed a VGA
Distribution Amplifier or, 'splitter' as a simple way to send one
signal to  two projectors.  I personally own a VERY cheap 'splitter'
that looks like a V.  But i wanted to borrow the amplifier so that
there was no signal loss or messing with the image in either projector.

Each
projector is projecting the same image and when we only wish to see one
projector we'll use an analog shutter system (read cardboard and
pulleys).  I also borrowed the DUalhead 2Go in case the combination of
the splitter and long cables cause interference with the image.  In
that case i'd rewrite in Isadora where we are sending each image.  But
we might still use the shutter system so that the black square doesn't
get projected.

Projections are on the back wall and on the floor.

Oh What War
Juggernaut Theatre Company
PERFORMANCE: September 10-October 4 8:30PM $15
HERE Arts Center 145 Sixth Avenue

A fantasy of flagrant disobedience to authority, OH WHAT WAR follows a band of deserters stuck in No Man's Land. A mash-up of mud, vintage war songs, b/w video footage and battle noise, this original Juggernaut production zeros in on the great war machine that holds us captive.

[WHAT WE SHOULD JUDGE WHEN WE JUDGE...]
LONELINESS, LOSS, REGRET, REDEMPTION:
FOUR(4)(IV)LECTURES ON THE RECALCITRANT HUMAN CONDITION, VIEWED THROUGH THE PRISM OF MODERN ART AS REFRACTED BY THE AESTHETIC OF THE ANCIENTS

On Sensation by Jake Hooker, or The Plastic Arts

Several aspects of writer/director/lecturer Jake Hooker's psyche go to
work attempting to elucidate the subjects of lyric Greek poetry and Roman art, and
something else -- topics very few people care about and he himself
knows almost nothing about. Thankfully, certain rogue elements
intercede on the behalf of theaudience, leading to more personal (and
present) ruminations on loneliness, on loss, on regret, on redemption
--on sensation. A lecture with audio/visual aids.

Created & performed: Jake Hooker
Designed: Tlaloc Lopez-Waterman
Video: Brian Rogers
Produced in association with the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator
