Post Weather Warlock Performance by Baltimore’s HD Sunrise

******IMPORTANT* This performance is a SUNSET CONCERT. The Weather Warlock is a musical instrument which is played by the weather. The weather sensors are mounted to a post and detect temperature, wind, sun, and rain. This all analog synthesizer produces a wide range of tones and harmonics based around a consonant E major chord with special audio events occurring during sunrise and sunset. PLEASE SHOW UP ON TIME OR YOU WILL MISS THE FUN!

About the Weather Warlock:

Now in its third year of an optimistically infinite lifetime, the provisionally utopian COLONY OF LIGHT is proud to present a two-part program of 16mm films, videos and live performance. Featuring an array of recent works from its 13-person strong membership of internationally-renowned artists, curators, and musicians, these programs converge on a radiant center via two seemingly divergent branches. In OUR (IM)MATERIAL SELVES, the physical body comes face-to-digital face with its decidedly virtual self; in HIVE VISION, the individual undergoes an alchemical transformation into collective spirit, into light and Beyond. The two sides form a third: transfiguration awaits…

The Colony of Light 2015 is Bonnie Jones, Xander Marro, Ruth Somalo, Aily Nash, Basma Alsharif, Jodie Mack, Ben Rivers, Ben Russell, Peter Burr, Fern Silva, Joshua Gen Solondz and Jonathan Schwartz

THE COLONY OF LIGHT, PT 1: OUR (IM)MATERIAL SELVES
Now, as in the future, we all live double lives – after all, the virtual realm is no place for a rotting body. It requires an augmented form – an explicit set of controls that cannot simply be called ‘neck’ or ‘eyes.’ Virtual space exists as an inverted mirror, all specular noise and colorful decay. Things do not decompose there – they simply cease to be. “Anything is possible”, our avatars tell us. “Anything is possible”, we respond back. Hands in virtual hands, we re-vision our horizons, pull their selective threads, build a glint of utopia. Together, we project our futures back.

SATURDAY AUG 22 2015 7:30 PM
THE COLONY OF LIGHT, PT 2: HIVE VISION
Here is the body-as-group, illuminated in the flickering light of this mythical now. Here is the Self as Hive-Core, as Collective Spirit, as Incantation given voice through the drone and hum of the masses. Here is shadow-play and dream projection, murmur and ecstatic prayer. Here is conjuring! Here is mimicry. Here is a Gathering, an assembly of costumes called bodies and skin. Oh, sure – everything is everything, but when that’s over and done we’ve still got us. And so, here is a solution: you call it “cinema” – we call it “the way forward.”

In conjunction with Juan Betancurth’s exhibition and studio residency at the Queens Museum, I’ll be collaborating with the brilliant musicians MV Carbon, Maria Chavez, and Victoria Keddie to create an improvisation and meditation on the artists’ four sisters.

Música que se las arregla para pregonar la escucha y el amor libres, El aracle es un ciclo de conciertos mayormente dedicado a la improvisación libre, muy sospechosamente cercano a la Generación Espontánea y diseñado de manera especial para importunar gente en Bélgica 204. Aproximadamente 0.978 veces al mes, improvisadores locales y foráneos de sólida trayectoria se dan cita en él formando las más sorprendentes combinaciones. Por sólo 50 devaluados pesos, podrán ustedes disfrutar de una música espontánea e irrepetible, que conservadores y radicales aman por igual. Contamos los conciertos con letras griegas por farolismo puro. Gerente general: El Heraldo.

Miss Chthonic Star Dream Pageant is a beauty pageant fashion show, a monstrous parade of internal realities fueled by sacrifice which thrusts labor, exploitation, and sexual/economic oppression onto the catwalk. Braiding pleasure and the abject and spiking it with a heavy dose of buffoonery, the dream pageant will entertain, amaze, and delightfully frustrate you!

WANT TO BE A STAR? In every city that the show will be produced, locals will be invited to participate as contestants in the pageant. But the experience is not what one would expect from a normal beauty pageant, if there is such a thing. Miss Chthonic is stress dream starring all of your anxieties!

The Dream Pageant was written by Ric Royer, with sound by G Lucas Crane and features members from three New York experimental theatre companies: Title:Point, Object Collection and the Psychic Readings Company.
