What’s NEW at dadageek!

 

dadageek presentS:

BLACKLIGHT

an immersive laser performance by Alberto Novello ++ experimental a/v sets from blend.mode and visualAudio.

April 27th, 2024

dadageek is honored to present an evening of experimental a/v featuring a special performance of BLACKLIGHT by internationally recognized Italian laser artist Alberto Novello (aka JesterN). In BLACKLIGHT, Novello uses a custom laser system to paint evolving worlds on a custom-made photosensitive canvas. In contrast with the frenetic but precise laser movements, structures with minute details slowly emerge resembling cities, forests, and alien architectures. BLACKLIGHT is a contemplative live performance in which time is dilated to counterbalance the haste of modern times, having invisible light revealing what is hidden, with phosphor extending its trace, capturing the passage of time.

PLUS: Experimental a/v performances on the dadaLab immersive projection system by blend.mode and visualAudio.

Doors @ 7:30p | Performances @ 8p
