Somatic Death, Soma Life :: 5pm - 6pm

Curated Screening by Jameson Wallace, School of the Art Institute of Chicago
At the moment of separation of the body from the brain, our ability to differentiate thought from prosthetic breaks down. Our body extends as far as our effect, far beyond our ability to see it happen. Both the threat and promise of virtualization is that its nature will have a form of dance more appropriate to us than what we now call "human."

Visual Performers :: Integrated Visions

After several months of planning and production, Integrated Visions Productions, Atlanta's cutting edge VJ team, is proud to announce the recent unveiling of its latest architecturally mapped projection installation at Asylum, Macon Georgia's newest hot spot. For this unique installation, Six projectors are tiled together to create a display over 136' wide making it the largest architecturally mapped projection screen in the Southeast. In addition to designing and building the projection system, Integrated Visions Productions also produced the custom high definition content for this one of a kind ultra wide video display. Using a cutting edge media server, a VJ from the Integrated Visions team synchronizes the projected imagery with lighting and music to create a fully integrated nightclub experience. Covering over half of the room, the projection screen surrounds the audience with light creating an unforgettable light show. Integrated Visions pulled out all of their tricks on this one, so be sure not miss it.

8pm :: John Vorus

Over the years my approach to working with sound has become more involved and the result more fine tuned. But this same experimental approach and psychological resonance lives on. Our interaction with sound is such a unique and individual experience, its presence in our life is that of a phenomenon. The mechanics of it are explainable by science, but the reason behind its influence on our internal atmospheres remains a mystery.

8pm :: Johnny Jitters

Johnny was born in rural Semmes, Alabama and spent most of his life in and around Mobile bay.. With prodigious musical talent not otherwise specified (NOS) he began to get nauseus partly due to his accute sensitivity to caffeine. After a long love affair with guitar and brass eventually fading and years of experimentation with computer software/synth making mad beats on computer became much more than just a hobby... During the last 6 years Johnny has shared the stage in various locations across the north and south with the following lads: Dark Party (Eliot Lipp/leo123) , Mux Mool , Xanopticon , Shigeto , Beautiful Bells , King Cannibal , Discuss , Abstract Artimus , Syphilis Sauna, Cheap Dinosaurs , Simon Slum , Subject Matters , Ruckus Robiticus, Black 13 , Aligning Minds and many more....

10pm :: Phylum Sinter

Born, raised, and currently entrenched just outside Detroit, Phylum Sinter is the working alias of 29-year-old Christopher Todd. Self-taught in piano and guitar from an early age, he began meddling with computers in a vaguely musical way in the mid 90s. After severe overexposure to Detroit Techno, raves, and Berlin's take on electronic music, he began to drift toward musical structures that are less about moving bodies and more about moving minds. In 2001, both the creative direction and the name were chosen, and Todd’s focus was aimed at composing songs that are at once familiar and experimental. Phylum Sinter's music is innovative and original, and is certainly well in keeping with Detroit’s rich and revolutionary musical history.

10pm :: citizenGreen

citizenGreen's rhythmic compositions have been evolving for 5 years and running. Fusing many modern styles of electronic music, citizenGreen's pulsing mechanical beats, cyclic melodies, bubbling organic basslines and delicately crafted textures and patterns make for a unique listen, and a sonic fingerprint all his own. Chris Amell is the man behind citizenGreen.
