A breadcrumb trail of project notes
Opening night of open studios at the Megashear Ranch was last night. Lots of great works on display. I made an installation of my Dance Loop that I used for a dance performance with the NYU-ITP dance collaboration and I have an Inverse Parasol kicking around (works great with the video installation). At the opening a bunch of small extremely active humans were really into the installation and just going totally nuts and running around non-stop. The kids could be coaxed to stop and move slowly, but I literally had to take them by the hand
The second night is this Thursday. We have two bands playing!
Two Fabulous Nites! Two Fabulous Floors of cATacLySmIc Creation!
Come to the Cataclysmic Megashear Ranch to meet the Ranch Hands and view their Art.

[...] Spot posted a few yummy pics from the CMR Open Studios. Dodger’s fire pendulum was awesome and BANG (Bay Area Neon Group) is doing some fine work! Furry’s installation/performance thing is great. You kind of have to be there. [...]
