screening of In Human Format DVD by Bent Object and FoAM at the Portland Art Center.

FoAM's trans-local lab is prepared to continue 'business-as-usual' wherever they go. Their members are trained in the art of 'Nista Nas Ne moze Iznenaditi', that enables them to make art in uncertain conditions, variable situations and heavy weather (as well as operating as extreme programmers, growing their own food and guiding the masses into shelters in case of unexpected war). This month, they are ready to set up a survey camp for the expedition to Altitude 1000.

'Sound Modulated Light #1' is environment of light and sound. The sound is not present acoustically but is radiated by the lights. The light sources are the carriers for the sound. The space consists of a design of multiple lights. Every light source has a double role. It's part of the light design and part of the sound design. The sound is modulated on top of the light by means of intensity modulation. The lights are flickering but mostly with a speed which not perceivable with the eye.

From the pneumatic turmoil of the tension workshop a shiny airtight meeting room suited for anyone from ordinary folks to inflated executives, is part of a show at Looking Glass. The silvery plastic film houses the bodies and heads of three people at a time for an intimate meeting in the shared chamber. This triangular starfish evolved out of the experiments of Linda Karlsson. Her inflated costumes started to swallow-up more and more people, duos and eventually trios.
