In Malmo, C.CRED has invited one or more friend(s) to come and have some food and drinks with them each Wednesday evening at 7pm Swedish time/1 pm in Ohio and present something: a project, a text, an idea, anything.

What kind of influence do we have over the balance of order and chaos
in the world?
Is Las Vegas perhaps a holy city?
If you could invent your own faith from scratch what would it look,
smell, sound, or taste like?
Help determine the fate of the Center for Religious Experimentalism.

THURSDAY, March 13th
Film/Video Installation
Karl Baumann and Pelham Johnston
Additional Video by Stacie Sells
Additional 2D Work: TBA
3:30-5:30ish pm
A combination of old and new technology, focusing on the
difference between film and video, or space and time.
The major two video pieces are Newclear (2007) and The Children
of Rupert Murdoch and Ted Turner (2008). Newclear emphasizes
the sensory elements of mediated reality, while ChildTNTFOX
analyzes the narrativization of politics and the disjunction between
the developing world and the virtual world.
The multiple film projectors then complement and recontextualize
the videos through their material and indexical elements as a
reference to the perceptions of the past. (Cameo appearance by
Orson Welles)
