Program 1 will feature artists Brent Coughenour, Kris Force, and Michael A. Morris in attendance.
“CROSSROADS 10 opens with an entirely live program featuring a sensuously intense trio of immersive film/video performances that blur the lines between media. Kris Force’s Diamond Body presents a macroscopic video score for an electroacoustically activated string quintet. Michael A. Morris’s A Chorus of Black Voids Sings In Rays of Unseeable Light fuses 16mm film projection, analog video synthesis, and digital video re-projection. Brent Coughenour’s The Sick Sense 2 delivers a hallucinatory, flickering otoacoustic sine wave performance that pushes the perceptual system to its limits.”
― San Francisco Cinematheque
The Sick Sense 2 | Brent Coughenour | 2019
“… a video performance exploring the limits of the perceptual system, stimulating auditory and visual hallucinations through flicker phenomena and other effects with the goal of activating the brain as a pure ecstatic perceiver.” (Brent Coughenour)
A Chorus of Black Voids Sings In Rays of Unseeable Light | Michael A. Morris | 2017
“…an expanded cinema performance using 16mm film projection, analog/digital video interface, and custom software which examines the ontological differences and congruencies between media; a ritualistic experience of light and darkness.” (Michael A. Morris)
Diamond Body | Kris Force | 2019
“…a meditative reflection on the psycho-spiritual body, defined as various intangible layers of vibrating energy that make up all living beings within and beyond the corporeal layers of flesh and bone.” (Kris Force)
