------------------------------------------------------
Bay Area legends Naut Humon and V. Vale will present
an oral optical conversation using a variety of media
forms. Topics will include ADD, information overload,
experiential engineering, catastrophism, shuffle-culture,
artificial simulations, panorama, spatial media synthesis,
transcoding, cinesonics, meta-language, disembodied
temporality, Frankenstein polyphonies and errant edge
blending histories. Special guest artist Perry Hoberman
will perform live real time requisite visual distractions
in accordance with the ADD theme. The dialogue will
conclude with rare, unseen footage of the Survival Research
Labs private show at Berkeley Art Museum in 2004.
------------------------------------------------------
V. Vale has been an independent, non-grant-funded,
San Francisco publisher of counterculture magazines and
books since 1977. His books include Modern Primitives,
Angry Women, Incredibly Strange Music, Incredibly Strange
Films, Search and Destroy, Pranks, Industrial Culture
Handbook, four books on U.K. visionary author J.G. Ballard,
and a book on William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and
Throbbing Gristle. researchpubs.com
Naut Humon has been the director of international
operations for RML, Asphodel Records, and AV curator for
select portions of the annual ARS Electronica Festival in
Austria. Recombinant Media Labs cultivates radical
methodologies and performative processes that expand
aesthetic and technological boundaries of immersive
installation and surround cinema. Naut performed with
the experimental music group "Rhythm & Noise" and is about
to debut a new cross-media collective known as "Careen
Ajar". For several decades, he's experimented with a wide
range of audience mobilization and extreme environments to
build bridges between audio and visual experiences.
The Recombinant Media Labs concept has emerged out beyond
these frames and is ready to take it to the streets.
