DEI Xhrist ::
Performer: Deidre Christiansen
Times and Location: 7:00-7:30 PM & 9:00-9:30 PM at the Dome
Description: Shanghai'd Sing-a-long: A hat-tip to the way that music from different regions and eras travels through influence; how it is changed by instrumentation, skill level, and memory; and how theft of intangible ideas shapes language and communication.
Audience will be invited to improvise through music and movement. Participants will reproduce sounds from their youth or ancestral history, using whatever they have to make sound - clothing, props, body, voice. Participants will develop their sounds, steal others, and enact a sonic battle as both aggressors and victims. Attendees uncomfortable with simulated aggression may want to skip this activity.

:: FEATURED ART ::

Now that we are bearing down upon our harbor, our anticipation is heightened! Here are a couple more pieces that will be featured at Aye, Robot tomorrow.

NooDome ::
By Carl Gruesz - Have a seat, lower the dome over your head and experience information UNDERLOAD. In the absence of recognizable visual references, computer-generated flashing light patterns and aural sounds cause the brain to substitute nonsensical information through the visual cortex. Information overload turned on its head! You'll likely be overwhelmed (and a little disoriented) by the sensations, regardless of their true origin. (see photo)

MarTuga ::
By Thomas Drudge, Jill Wegrzyn & Erik Hluchan - Having just returned from roaming the playa in BRC, MarTuga is a brilliantly lit Sea Turtle art car that melds the nature of Davy Jones' Locker and 21st century technology. She will be on full display at Aye, Robot bridging a connection between some of the very technical projects that are seen at burns, and tying them back into the sense of wonder that can be seen in nature. (see photo)

:: AFTER PARTY TICKETS ::

A few tickets are still available for the after party so buy yours before they sell out. The after party takes place at the Reliquarium from midnight - 4 AM and is a 21+ event. Tickets are $13 plus fees, no refunds. Respect the space and be correct. Buy your after party ticket here: https://decomafterparty.eventbrite.com
