Cloud Eye Control Show starts at 7pm nightly. This performance is in conjunction with the Fusebox Festival. Please note this event takes place at Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Road, not at the gallery. Tickets are $20 and available at the door or online. Cloud Eye Control's latest work, Under Polaris, tells the story of an epic journey into an Arctic wonderland. A woman embarks upon an incredible mission to preserve the finer elements of humanity in Arctic ice. Along the way, she disguises herself as animals to help her survive the elements-and in the process, learns about the delicate interdependence between humans and nature.
Under Polaris reel - 2009 version from citrusink on Vimeo. "a transcendently spectacular piece of theater" - LA Times Arts Review "Fusing palpably transcendent video art with live performances of jaw-dropping complexity, multimedia collective Cloud Eye Control's seductive productions are a feast for the senses and a bold step forward in the possibilities of cinema." -by Graham on Spike Jonze's Blog "we love you so." In their latest mix of projected animation, live theater and electronic music, Cloud Eye Control charts an epic journey across a vast arctic expanse-a sublime icebound landscape illuminated under the ethereal lights of the Northern sky. At the center of Under Polaris is the quest to preserve, inside pristine shards of ice at the top of the world, a seed containing the wealth of all human history: a back-up system for our genetic imprint and the sum total of our personal memories. En route, the story's protagonist shape-shifts into many a mythic creature to survive the elements and, in the process, learns about the inextricable interdependence of humans and nature. Cloud Eye Control is a Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary performance collective comprised of Miwa Matreyek (Dreaming of Lucid Living), Anna Oxygen and Chi-wang Yang. Integrating animation, experimental theatre, pop music, and puppetry, their work fuses screen and stage to create inventive hybrids of animation and performance. Their work has been presented both nationally and internationally. Recent showings include the REDCAT NOW Festival, 2007 Platform Internation Animation Festival and the Time-Based Festival at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art.
