SIGGRAPH is the most prestigious international conference on computer graphics research since 1974. We are in possession of two of their VHS tapes, which were discarded from the AT&T library. They are documentation of the most cutting-edge computer graphics from 1997 and 1998.

To celebrate the 20th and 21st birthday of the tapes, Amelia Marzec and Matthew Gantt will be screening them, along with a live soundtrack of synthesis techniques and electronic instruments from/inspired by the 90's.

ABOUT BIPAF
Brooklyn International Performance Art Foundation (BIPAF) is an anonymous entity operating as an ongoing institutional critique project.

BIPAF is, in and of itself, performance art. www.bipaf.net

http://gantt.works/Call%20for%20Realizations

--------------------

Presenting a pop-up recording studio as functional sculpture, a double cassette album release, and a complex network of conceptual research, Iterations is an investigation into the production of recorded media in the age of digital plasticity.

Gallery visitors are invited to participate in a call for realizations during installation hours, to be featured as part of the resultant cassette release by Gold Bolus Recordings. Other processes on display explore methodologies for the creation of media that exists as both infinitely reproducible form and procedurally unique content.

Drawing equally from Walter Benjamin's conception of aura and Brian Eno's writings on generative music, these systems will culminate in an evening length performance intended to highlight the works included in Iterations as the confluence of event, artifact and documentation.

Matthew D. Gantt is a composer and conceptualist based in New York City. His creative work focuses on the use of live electronics and open systems as metaphorical structures, as well as the overlapping nature of contemporary artistic production and consumption. Gantt has performed or presented work at a range of New York venues, including Roulette, Issue Project Room, the New Museum, Silent Barn and the Stone, as well as internationally at IRCAM Academy in Paris. He holds a M.M. in composition from CUNY Brooklyn, and currently works as a studio assistant to Morton Subotnick.

If the amp is turned on but there is no xlr plugged in, is amplification still occurring? Tackling autonomy of sonic phenomena, the physical limits of the listening ear and sound-generating body, and situational experience through structured improvisation, four sonically-driven performance artists drizzle molasses over the affect, plunge plungers into the bowel of the moment, and spray cheez whiz on every exit.
