Bay Area legends Naut Humon and V. Vale will present
an oral optical conversation using a variety of media
forms. Topics will include ADD, information overload,
experiential engineering, catastrophism, shuffle-culture,
artificial simulations, panorama, spatial media synthesis
transcoding, cinesonics, meta-language, disembodied
temporality, Frankenstein polyphonies and errant edge
blending histories. Special guest artist Perry Hoberman
will augment the presentation with live projections,
supplying the requisite visual distraction in accordance
with the ADD theme. The dialogue will conclude with rare,
unseen footage of the Survival Research Labs private show
at Berkeley Art Museum in 2004.

San Francisco publisher of counterculture magazines and
books since 1977. His books include Modern Primitives,

Naut Humon has been the director of international
operations for RML, Asphodel Records, and AV curator for
select portions of the annual ARS Electronica Festival in
Austria. Recombinant Media Labs cultivates radical
methodologies and performative processes that expand
aesthetic and technological boundaries of immersive
installation and surround cinema. Naut performed with
the experimental music group “Rhythm & Noise” and is about
to debut a new cross-media collective known as “Careen
Ajar”. For several decades, he’s experimented with a wide
range of audience mobilization and extreme environments to
build bridges between audio and visual experiences.
The Recombinant Media Labs concept has emerged out beyond
these frames and is ready to take it to the streets.
