Exploding, Plastic and Inevitable Redux
“Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable Redux utilizes multiple projectors, a barrage of laptop computers, custom software, live vocals, keyboards and live video processing to create an immersive audio-visual experience which mimics the psychedelic atmosphere of the original EPI event, while at the same time updating the audio-visual language to the 21st Century.” Luc Meier, Swissnex San Francisco. Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable Redux is re-imagining of the psychedelic classic The Exploding Plastic Inevitable, created by Andy Warhol with the Velvet Underground in the late 1960s. Rather than literally interpreting the original Warhol event, Exploding, Plastic & Inevitable Redux seeks to update psychedelia for the new millennium. Using an excess of technology, including a multitude of projectors, computers, MIDI and other human-computer interaction controllers, the project immerses viewers in an overload of the senses and in a Gesamtkunstwerk where sound, vision, space and time coincide. |
