True Three-Dimensional Projection: Stephen Bornstein

August 31, 2008 – 5:11 pm

Tonight at Co-Lab (613 Allen. St., Austin, TX):

True Three-Dimensional Projection : Stephen Bornstein

Showcase: Sunday, August 31, 8-11 PM

Stephen Bornstein, conceptual Artist and professional Industrial Designer, has created real 3-D images that actually occupy volumetric space and time. This is a “virtual” recreation of realty. This is not real. It is projected light, fleeting, temporal and illusionary.

This installation invites interactivity by encouraging the viewer to bring their own iPod. Before their eyes, they can watch their favorite music morph in 3-D.

A Performance in 10 Hz : Loren Dent

August 24, 2008 – 4:56 pm

Father, Can’t You See I’m Burning?
A Performance in 10 Hz by Loren Dent

TONIGHT

Sunday, August 24, 8-11 PM

@ Co-Lab (613 Allen St )

Performance starts @ 9 PM Sharp [35 Min]

This performance will attempt to provide participants with altered states of consciousness through the use of a stroboscopic film and composed sound, both at 10 Hz. The project is inspired by the Dreamachine, a device developed by Brion Gyson and Ian Sommerville in 1961, which utilized research on the relationship between alpha brain waves and consciousness.

Gyson, a contemporary of William Burroughs, described the Dreamachine as “the first art object to be viewed with the eyes closed.” Following this concept, Loren Dent will present 35 minutes of his composed music altered by filter to emit 10 Hz sounds that will work alongside the stroboscopic projection to facilitate alpha brain stimulation.

A word of caution: anyone with epilepsy or any nervous disorder should avoid participating. One out of 10,000 people experience a seizure during stroboscopic exposure.
