> DESCRIPTION

Chicago musicians Haptic and video artist Lisa Slodki explore the symbiotic relationship connecting sounds and images in an installation and series of live performances as part of the monthly UBS 12 x 12 New Artist/New Work series at the MCA. During their live performances, Slodki generates and projects digitally altered images in response to Haptic’s improvised audio compositions made by amplifying sounds from Slodki’s video equipment. Their live performances are free as part of Free Tuesdays and take place in the month of November, on November 10, 17, and 24, at 7 pm. In addition to the performances, Haptic and Slodki create an installation where two VCRs play Slodki’s looped images from the performances on three small video monitors while several of Haptic’s small microphones capture, amplify, and transmit mechanical sounds from the video equipment in the 12 x 12 gallery.
