Workers playing the factory
Deron writes: On the outsider performance art front: I just found out about this Christmas tradition that happens every year not too far from my parents'. Pretty much every christmas eve since 1925, a wirecloth factory has allowed their steam whistle to be used for an elaborate performance of Christmas carols. The boiler is stoked and people inside the factory pull levers to change the pitch of the whistle. The whole thing is absurd and amazing and creepy all at the same time.

Performing Neuromancer:
"CASE" by Brody Condon
Performance and installation based on the classic cyberpunk novel “Neuromancer” by William Gibson.
A performance and installation based on the classic cyberpunk novel “Neuromancer” by William Gibson. The event is a deadpan reading of the novel by mostly non professional actors in a casual, dress rehearsal like atmosphere. Combining the 1980’s dystopian techno-fetishism of Gibson with early 20th century abstraction, faux “virtual reality” scenes will unfold via moving Bauhaus inspired sculptural props accompanied by the Gamelan ensemble Dharma Swara.
