After 9 Evenings: LoVid & Andrew Lampert

Veteran performers LoVid present a new version of Reaction Bubble, an installation that utilizes homemade electronics, analogue video, audio-visual synthesizers, and ceramics activated by a performer. Drawing inspiration from the study of proxemics, which is concerned with the distances between people depending on the relationships and contexts in which they interact, Reaction Bubble blends live performance with sculpture, choreography, and immersive video.

Andy Lampert premieres a new video performance that takes as its subject the culture of corporate "technology, ownership, registration, royalties and patents.

LoVid's interdisciplinary works explore the often invisible or intangible aspects of contemporary society, such as communication systems and biological signals. Their practice includes performances, participatory public art, handmade technologies, textiles, prints, App-art, experimental video, and immersive installations. They focus on the juxtaposition of media with physical objects, geographic spaces, and the human touch by bridging handmade engineering with traditional craft forms. They apply machine-based and digital fabrication techniques in order to highlight the critical importance of human/machine interaction in the digital age. Their diverse practice invokes processes and ideas from art, science, and technology, to question perceptions of time, place, and the self in the networked era. They have performed at the Museum of the Moving Image, Graham Foundation, Eyebeam, MoMA, FACT, PS1 and The Kitchen, among many others. They have been supported by and produced works in collaboration with Rhizome, Franklin Furnace, Elastic City, free103point9, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Experimental TV Center, and LMCC. LoVid has received additional awards from NYSCA, NYFA, Foundation for Contemporary Art, and Greenwall Foundation.

Andrew Lampert has widely exhibited at institutions and festivals including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Art Gallery of Ontario, PS1, The Getty Museum, The British Film Institute, The International Rotterdam Film Festival, The Toronto International Film Festival and The New York Film Festival. Musical collaborators have included Chris Corsano, Peter Evans, Okkyung Lee, Alan Licht and C. Spencer Yeh among many others. He was Curator of Collections at Anthology Film Archives from 2003-2015, has taught at Purchase College and Eugene Lang College, edited the book The George Kuchar Reader (Primary Information, 2014) and co-edited both volumes of Harry Smith Collections Catalogue Raisonne (J&L Books, 2015).
