Onion City and CCAM co-present the second annual edition of [WE DON’T KNOW YET] WHAT A CINEMA CAN DO, a night of new media live performance.
This event explores the resonances of “expanded cinema” today, putting cinematic art to the tasks of resistance, rupture, and reconfiguration of mediatic experience. We ask, “How can experimental modes of animating sound and moving images reconfigure the possibility of our relating to one another anew?” This year’s iteration centers visual-sonic collaboration, looking to the arts of DJing and live film scoring to embrace transmedia collage. Sound and moving image artists are paired to convene and animate an exquisite corpse of expanded cinema.
Advance ticket purchase recommended. Admission increases to $30 at the door.
