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. ------------------------------------------------------ V. Vale has been an independent, non-grant-funded, San Francisco publisher of counterculture magazines and books since 1977. His books include Modern Primitives, Angry Women, Incredibly Strange Music, Incredibly Strange Films, Search and Destroy, Pranks, Industrial Culture Handbook, four books on U.K. visionary author J.G. Ballard, and a book on William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Throbbing Gristle. http://www.researchpubs.com 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. http://www.asphodel.com Perry Hoberman is an installation artist who has worked extensively with machines and media. His career has included stints with Laurie Anderson and currently the USC Interactive Media Division in LA. He has exhibited internationally, with major shows throughout the USA and Europe. Hoberman has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, and is both a 2002 Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and a 2002 Rockefeller Foundation Media Art Fellow http://www.perryhoberman.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ ATC Primary Sponsors: Berkeley Center for New Media (BCNM), Center for Information Technology in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), College of Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies Program (IDS), and the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost.
