What Is Nothing (After What Is Nothing)

Using found educational films, direct laser animation, and nine-projectors, the filmmaker attempts to realize the multifaceted materiality of nothingness through the eyes of those who may be the most vulnerable to the void.

Phil Puleo is a composer, artist, drummer and multi-instrumentalist. He was a founding member of the 90’s band Cop Shoot Cop. Since 1995 (ending 2017) He was the drummer for the experimental rock group Swans. Throughout those years He also collaborated with Michael Gira on his Angels of Light musical project plus many others.

Scott Schafer, host of Sideshow and co-host of The Good Music Show, has been the lead singer for several stalwart Chicago indie rock outfits and has also blazed a trail through the cover tune circuit with his numerous acoustic duos. In addition to performing and recording, Scott also holds down various DJ residencies around town, from venues well-known to the forever unknown. Alongside his live musical endeavors, he has also carved a niche for himself on the industry side of the Chicago music scene, first as head of operations for the venerable Checkered Past Records label, and most recently as the label manager for local indie powerhouse Bloodshot Records. With the little free time he has left, he hosts Chicago’s longest-running weekly open mic competition at Uncommon Ground. Scott is enveloped in music, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
