OPTOSONIC TEA(S):

OptoSonic Tea e una serie mensile di incontri dedicati alla convergenza dei live visual con il live sound, focalizzata prevalentemente sugli aspetti visivi. Nate alla galleria Diapason di NYC, da Katharine Liberovskaya e Ursula Scherrer, queste presentazioni/discussioni esplorano le diverse forme di live visuals e i differenti modi in cui queste possono interagire con il suono. Ogni serata della rassegna ospita due artisti o gruppi di artisti che lavorano con il video, ognuno dei quali si esibisce in un live set con un sound artist a scelta. Le presentazioni sono seguite da una discussione informale, offrendo e sorseggiando te, circa le pratiche di lavoro dell'artista. Un terzo artista -o moderatore- generalmente proveniente da precedenti generazioni di artisti visivi, e invitato allo scopo specifico di partecipare alla discussione e di creare un dialogo tra le pratiche correnti e passate, fornendo quindi differenti prospettive sul presente e sul futuro.
