Sadly, April 5th marks the last evening of the VDC as its symbiotic partner, CCAD’s exhibition Exact Imagination, closes. We hope that the spirit and openness can be carried on by fellow community space Spore Print Infoshop. Please stop by there and visit. But before we eulogize too much, come and participate in these events during April Gallery Hop:
—-Taming the Beast: internet applications and free organizational tools—- 6:00-7:00pm
Artist and Ohio State University Lecturer Anthony Castronovo shares some helpful tips about free internet applications that can organize information and provide access to the wealth of information available online. This brief presentation wil precede the Make Art Accessible: Cellular Theatre.
—-Make Art Accessible: Cellular Theatre—- 7:00-10:00pm
Video Curator, and Ohio State University lecturer Anthony Castronovo will be segueing from his Taming the Beast technology talk into a presentation of submissions to his Make Art Accessible: Cellular Theater call for entries.
In the main seating area of the VDC Anthony will be sharing video submissions shot only on cellular phone. This cellular theater will be playing in a loop throughout the night. In conjunction with this, samples of cellular video will be posted on the VDC web site. Come watch, stare, think and “dial-in”.
—-Umbrella Men Street Performance—- 7:00-9:30pm
During the gallery hop, local band Umbrella Men will perform outside of the VDC.
Come listen, pick up a cd, stare awkwardly, and enjoy before entering the VDC for the rest of the night’s events.
—-[OPEN EIGHT TRACK] Session II—- 7:00-10:00pm
While others are transfixed by the exciting cellular theater, sign up to record yourself in the front window because the VDC will host the second installment of [OPEN EIGHT TRACK] tonight as well. During these events, the space will exist as an open recording forum and studio. Microphones and a digital 8 track will be provided. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come in and record their voice, stories, sounds, and if compelled bring a guitar or keyboard and record songs. [OPEN EIGHT TRACK] is an opportunity for anyone to leave behind an audio record of themselves. In conjunction with these events, a mix cd of the night’s recordings will be made available upon request and samples will also be posted on the VDC web page. Come record stories, music, noises and yourself!
