Chrome Candles Viewing Hour is a beta-space where artists working in experimental audiovisual performance can exhibit work. The purpose of the beta space is to provide a discerning but open context to perform works in progress, discuss work, and receive valuable feedback.
The emphasis for this salon is on real-time experimental video and sound performance, live cinema, and interactive instrument design. We are interested in works centered around performers utilizing and building interfaces to generate and manipulate media in real-time. The format will include performances and artist talks about process and performance techniques.
We hope to stimulate conversation about how we can push the boundaries of our work into new directions, in a context that is conducive to the presentation of audiovisual and new media performance.
