tune in to elastic arts!

Tone Glow is excited to present Perceptual Ambiguity, a two-part screening highlighting four works on 16mm by Pat O’Neill (b. 1939). O’Neill is an American artist and pioneering figure in LA’s experimental film scene. As a teenager, he became enamored with the mechanic and pinstriper Von Dutch, eventually becoming involved with car culture himself through building automobiles.

Join us for the first of two Elastro series events this week, featuring Los Angeles musician Cate Kennan, Infrathin (Whitney Johnson + Lula Asplund), and Cleared (Michael Vallera + Steven Hess).

Chicago's most dynamic audio/visual series, Night School, presents an evening of experimental video and music for the first time here at Elastic Arts. Video artists are paired with improvising musicians, with each musician live-scoring the video for the first time. There are no aesthetic hierarchies at Night School, each show is about spontaneity and openness, you never know what you'll see and you won't believe what you hear!

An assemblage of sonic vignettes sculpted from digital electronics, live improvisation, and studio manipulation, percussionist Lesley Mok presents a solo set where the music feels like a passage through affective zones—like a slow deliberate walk through a museum where its unknown sensorium unfolds itself to you.
