Friday January 24 * 7pm * $10-20In 1978 David "The Weatherman" Wills, Richard Lyons, and Mark Hosler formed Negativland, an American experimental music band, which quickly became an absurd and noisy multimedia universe without boundaries, ownership, or privacy. Negativland's complex chaos of “plunderphonics” poses both serious and silly questions about the nature of sound, media, technology, control, propaganda, power, and perception in the global village. Negativland continue to be pioneers of art in the electronic age, and the medium reveals that any message is all in our heads.
Virtual Q&A with the Director to follow.
“Every bit as mind-altering as its subjects.”-Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
“If you want to be inspired by individuals who dare to bust down the doors of art’s gatekeepers, then STAND BY FOR FAILURE is the way to go.” - Alan Ng, Film Threat
