If you stay home this week you'll miss the following: Brent Coughenour's live, multi-/new-media performance of Mysterium Cosmographicum, video[ish] piece controlled via appropriated video game controllers, at 7pm on Weds 16 Nov at UWM's Union Theatre for program 2 of 3 of the The Nohl Fellows; the results of Kabaret, MARNkino's 48 hour film making festival, at 7pm on Thurs 17 Nov at the Times Cinema.
Coughenour, adjunct faculty at UWM in PSoA's Dept of Film and established artist Nohl Fellow, will perform his latest work, in 3 parts, that draws A/V material from public sharing forums as found on the internet (or the "collective unconscious" in the artist's words). The role of performance in video work will be highlighted as Coughenour mixes the A/V materials with controllers from popular video games appropriated and reassigned for his purposes.
Milwaukee Artist's Resource Network (MARN) will present its monthly, local chapter screening of the global "film open-mic," Kino. While there is a theme every month that helps to guide the new work presented, this month the screening will present the results of Kabaret, MARNkino's entry into the 48 hour film festival. The theme for Kabaret, which took place 11 thru 13 Nov and will conclude with the screening on Thurs, is "1".
