Sight Unseen welcomes back Basement Media Fest for a second survey of contemporary artists working with lo-def, lo-tech, and lo-fi motion pix techniques. Founded in response to hi-res commercial media and corporate-sponsored film fests, Basement is a celebration of the mediated experience as an aesthetic experience. Equal parts glitchd digital vidz, fuzzy vhs, and grimy 16mm film, we’ll be presenting a mixd program of celluloid and .movs. Come enjoy some 100 yr old tech in a state of the art converted bodega theater.
///Warning/// sum of these movies feature flickering light and rapidly changing motion. may cause seizures/motion sickness. If you have to spew, spew in this.
//LJ Frezza, curator of Basement, will be in attendance as well!
