What if? 60x60x60
7:30pm
BUY TICKET TO THIS SCREENING ONLY

Media artist Gene Gort and composer/sound artist, Ken Steen of NewMediaNewMusicNewEngland bring us an audience participatory experiment in audio and video called What if? 60x60x60   The project uses 60 video clips and 60 sound compositions that are 60 seconds in duration each. Contributors of the clips were selected from an open call to New England media makers. During the event audience members select one number each from a video- and audio-designated list as they enter the venue. These selections will determine the evening's program of 60 works resulting in a 60-minute screening. What if? 60x60x60 investigates the serendipitous relationship of sound and moving image in terms of coincidence, shifting context and potential meanings that result.
