ABOUT THE GUESTS

 = John Bela  of the Rebar art collective will talk about the upcoming PARK(ing) Day. Rebar is a San Francisco based open-source art collective. PARK(ing) Day,  created is 2005, is the transformation of metered parking spots into PARKing spaces complete with grass, trees, benches and other urban amenities to improve the quality of urban human habitat...at least until the meter runs out.

 = Kwisp will be speaking about a custom built Holographic Video Synthesizer, called the Hologlyphic Funkalizer. The Hologlyphic Funkalizer, projects Holographic Glyphs that animate and spatially transform into each other, controlled by unique sound sculptures and a dedicated control panel. Moving holograms and music become one, they are integrated and inter-modulating. HOLOGRAPHIC ANIMATIONS animate along with the music. This is NOT flat screen 'perspective drawing' type 3-D computer graphics, but TRUE 3-D without glasses.  Think electrified Harry Partch-ish instruments controlling Harry Smith style animations in real-time, but holographic instead of flat!
