"Which
Side Are You On?" is a show presented by three
individuals
with visual acumen; it is a complex diatribe on how they see this
angry, beautiful, and slowly warming world. They use different
media:
PowerPoint, tangible electronics, performative lecture, next-
generation positive vibrational dome music, and dancing.
These three will temporally make the invisible visible; fill the
darkness with light.
Shows are balls of light existing in time and space. Shows cannot
exist in darkness. Which side are you on?
YACHT
No one knows why Jona Bechtolt calls his band YACHT,
and, to be
honest, not many people have even really heard of the group.
Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I'm even that
familiar with the music, myself. Weird. But have you seen the
show?
Shit is good. Like, very good. Known as much for his effeminate,
wildly sexual "dancing," as he is for creating damaging
beats and--
let's just say it--weird visuals, Bechtolt owns the room, and
invites
everyone to kill it with him. See, this isn't some karaoke-glam-
glitch-electro-what aesthete with a microphone, inspiring a detached
staring contest; this is a pinata birthday slam, and you're fucking
chugging lemonade. This is YACHT, dude. And this is our grunge.
UNIVERSE
Claire L. Evans is an unqualified science writer whose primary
project, Universe, addresses the synchronies between art, culture,
and modern science. Armed with a literature degree and wizened
by
years in the LA underground noise scene (Thurston Moore once said
of
her old band, Weirdo/Begeirdo, "Shit, fuck hate--go to The
Smell and
hang with these abba zabbas--they now ruleth"), Evans has
presented
her earnestly cosmic Power Point performances at venues ranging
from
New York MoMA's PS1 and the Beyond Baroque literary foundation
to
City Lights Books and the Department of Safety in Anacortes,
Washington. She writes her self-syndicated science column,
freelances, and tries to figure out String Theory from her home
in
Portland, OR.
AARON FLINT JAMISON
Aaron Flint Jamison was born in Billings, MT in 1979. Flint co-
founded the active artist-run center Department of Safety. Flint
has
written complex computer and Bluetooth viruses, re-wired dangerous
electronics, and made photographs, sculptures, and sound pieces.
Jamison graduated in 2006 with an MFA in New Genres from the San
Francisco Art Institute. Aaron will perform a collection of lectures
for the "Which Side Are You On Tour" of 2006. Flint
currently lives
