Under the name Killer Banshee, local artists Eliot K. Daughtry and Kriss de Jong perform "A Wake for Analog." Across two screens and a stereo field bolstered by noise composer Thurston Graham, they synthesize and sample video material, breaking analog signals apart into light trails and fuzz. What gets pieced back together is a novel interpretation between channels. Graham's composition, meanwhile, distorts audio from tape recorders, live televisions, and a modular synthesizer, questioning comprehensibility as its choir of ghosts sings out from the history of television. Also on the bill is David Cox, whose work incorporates the history of video game design, and Cyrus Tabar, whose Tunnel Vision is a self-reflecting hall of mirrors.
