Tales from the Datastream Jukebox - Live in Houston
Submitted by danielvatsky on Tue, 01/09/2007 - 6:03pm.Storytelling meets the sampling culture. Live video, sharp narration,
and a stream of vintage movie stills interweave to create a universe of
runaway nanobots, psychic anarchists, and frustrated cyborgs. An
immersive evening of strange tales and startling imagery from The
Psychasthenia Society, bringing you the finest in satire, beats, and
visuals.
The Psychasthenia Society is dedicated to the performance of political
and cultural satire as digital spectacle. Its members are author and
storyteller Jon Keith Brunelle, and video artist Daniel Vatsky. For two
years, they mounted multimedia story programs in collaboration with
renowned guest musicians at Brooklyn's Galapagos Art Space; other
engagements include New York’s MonkeyTown and P.S. 122. Their first
theatrical production, "The Nanolove Report," enjoyed a successful run
at Collective: Unconscious Theatre in Manhattan. www.psychasthenia.com
