About Caleb Foss:
Caleb Foss combines a spectrum of old and new media devices with a focus on how their mechanics reflect and impact social and political structures. Drawing from a fascination with amusement park rides and magic tricks, these projects take an imaginative approach to everyday technologies.
About Pastel Fractal:
Pastel Fractal’s mission is to perform wonders* with the mission statements of Chicagoans. Pastel Fractal’s next four performances will take place from April 4 to April 8, 2017 in Gallery 400 where an interactive apparatus will be constructed and adjusted to accommodate participants. This apparatus extends four machine interfaces that store information primarily to floppy disks. These interfaces branch out in a fractal pattern that corresponds to the interfaces’ places along the continuum of technology over time. Participants are provided written instructions at each interface in order to submit information that will be processed during the performances.
These performances will also feature special guests who will take the Pastel Fractal Quad Composition CAREoke Collaboration Challenge Chicago (PF4CCCCC)! This challenge involves special guests making music and performing karaoke-style in addition to submitting the information in order perform wonders.
*Wonders are qualified by positive experience beyond understanding.
