Water takes on a new dimension in this multimedia performance and exhibition. An experimental sextet provides a live score for five channels of video projections. Oozing with trippy nature video footage and spacey sounds, the project aims to create a new space for us to consider our relationship to water, which has been dammed, diverted and corralled by humans since the beginning of civilization.
Press release: Exhibition @ 6:30pm-9pm; Musical Performance @ 7:00pm
Displaced Horizons is a multimedia project focusing on water infrastructures’ socio-cultural and historical complexities to encourage a re-visioning of current water systems. The project attends to water systems—such as dams, acequias, arroyos, and rivers—to bring to the fore the technological entanglements. We aspire to create a non-representational approach to water mapping, resistant to practices that fix water as an abstract resource and instead animate our subjective experiences of water in the landscape.
We hope you will join us for a multimedia installation and musical performance with musicians from across the country. Compositions by Robert Lundberg and Chris Jonas, Video by Robert Lundberg and Chris Jonas and Dylan McLaughlin (video) and featuring musicians John Dieterich (Deerhoof), Chris Jonas (Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor), Ryan Packard (Fonema Consort, Nestle), and Cory Wright (Vinny Golia, Yusef Lateef).
DH is co-produced by the Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies and The Center for Culture, History, and Environment.
