A Synesthete's Atlas: Real time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by San Francisco-based artist Eric Theise, in live collaboration with local bassist Ari Smith's sounds ranging from warm spectral drones to fragile sparsities, A visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural environments. Saturated colors and the subtlest of tints. Auditory roundabouts and redirections. Glitches in crowdsourced data. Gerrymandered geographies. Jittery zooms and pans. Acoustic cul-de-sacs. Orphaned information and free-floating symbology.
The performance will last 50 minutes and will occasionally introduce strobing effects that may affect photosensitive viewers.
