Millennium Film and Video 66 East 4th Street, NY Telephone 212-673-0090 March 18th, Saturday - Alan Sondheim 8:00 PM, $8 / $6 members "Alan Sondheim, the prolific renaissance man of new media, comes to the Millenium with a brand new program called EMBEDDED (Assembled Performance) (60 min. approximately, using material from 2005-2006). He has produced numerous books and articles. His video and film have been widely shown. He is currently working with the Swiss dance company of Foofwa d'Imobilite. 'My recent work is multi-media. Laptop performances deal with political, sexual, and cyber issues. I run video/audio/text segments from a laptop in combinatory fashion, typing a real-time commentary at screen bottom. The result is an extended body and socius, digital problematized by analog, purity by eror, language by language-stumblling. If I can't break new ground in performance, I've failed. I present an entertaining implosion of information, fast-forward imaging, memories of seductions., My avatars are reincarnations of Bodhidarma, the world's wonder collapsed into pixel- annihilation. I empty images at warp-speed. It's already a gone world, say goodbye-hello to extinctions.'"
