Kinetic Cinema: "Kill the Ego" by Soundwalk and Rostarr

The Tank
New York, NY

Join us for the kick off of an exciting new season of Kinetic Cinema in which choreographer, performer, and videographer Lisa Niedermeyer curates an evening that explores a kinetic portrayal of New York City. Conceived originally as a sound collage by Stephan Crasneanscki and Dug Winningham of the new media firm Soundwalk, 'Kill The Ego' draws on a decade's worth of New York City field recordings "voices of pimps and engineers, poets and dominatrixs, visionaries and children, hope and sorrow." Fueled by this sound, underground visual artist Rostarr experiments with gravity, momentum, torque and combinations of all three (break dancing on his canvases) as directors Jim Helton and Ron Patane bring to cinematic life Soundwalk's original audio collage and Rostarr's visual work, culminating in a uniquely kinetic representation of New York City.

ABOUT KINETIC CINEMA

Kinetic Cinema is a co-presentation of The Tank and Pentacle's Movement Media project, and happens on the second Wednesday of each month. This screening series explores the intersection of dance and the moving image. For each screening Anna Brady Nuse, Pentacle's director of Movement Media, invites a different guest artist from the fields of dance and media arts to share a selection of films and videos that have inspired them. These could be works for screen that feature dance, are kinetic-based, or have been influential on their work in some way. The guest curators come from a range of backgrounds as performers, choreographers, critics, video artists, and film-makers.
