Space Invader

spatial sound & visual explorations

Space Invader vol. 1-5 (Quadraphonic nightclub experience)

We deployed a quadraphonic sound system from the Museum block party, but this time inserting a performance system I have been developing into the chain. I tentatively call it the Dynamic Performer System (DPS), a bit tongue in cheek, since the Octatrack is also called DPS which stands for Dynamic Performance Sampler. In its third iteration, this system version 3.0 has been the platform for refining my approach to interface design regarding performance improvisation.  
The event was at Union Tavern/Bow Market, one of the various AR outdoor gallery locations, which happens to be where my wife and I run our retail business, Crane & Turtle, a Japanese artisanal crafts & goods shop.

Space Invader at the Somerville Museum

Space Invader at the Somerville Museum is a group show I curated, which ran from 6/3 - 7/9/2022. The show's concept is to harness techniques of immersive art to critique the American immigration experience. Each participating artist has various backgrounds and tells stories of immigration or, in other cases, not necessarily political but of an outsider's perspective ("of an alien") or an alternative way to think about think about the system we live in. We consciously differentiated the majority horde through unique art forms. My solid hopes for this museum show series are to expand on the Space Invader nightclub experience's deeper meanings and bring various discussions and discourses regarding xenophobia to the forefront.
