Performance text

'Gifts from Unknown Islands,' a collaboration by Mark McCoin
with performance artists, designers and technology specialists,
will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 and 21 in the Black Box

Mark McCoin commented on his production, "When the piece begins to reveal itself and takes on its own life, the ecstasy begins. Soon the work is telling you something important; perhaps something about our nature or past that is meaningful, and if we're lucky, universal."

The multi-media technology includes:
- Microscope camera projecting biological images onto large white spheres in real time
- Multiple round screens simultaneously serving as drums and screens for montage of projected
video and stills
- Animated images projecting on animated 3D sculptural, shaped surfaces
- Live hands playing rhythm duet with video hands

The approximate 1.5 hour evening includes a talkback/discussion with the artist/producer.

The evening is free and open to the public. Reservations recommended.
Seating is first come, first served. Reserve your seats here.
