Event
FORTUNE by Potter-Belmar Labs
What does the future hold? What follows us from the past? What do we need to know about the present? Live cinema performers, Potter-Belmar Labs, will answer these questions and more, on tour stops throughout the U.S. Southwest and West Coast in May 2008.
Traveling by train, this pair of itinerant fortune-tellers will probe the collective subconscious of audiences from Albuquerque to Seattle, and on many stops in between. Potter-Belmar Labs brings the ancient tradition of the magic lantern show to the 21st Century, inviting the audience to participate in a collective fortune-telling experience, and presenting the results in music, sound and moving image.
PBL utilizes laptops and other electronic devices, producing a unique, live cinematic experience. Original music and moving image compositions are interwoven with samples and soundscapes, generating a tapestry of allusion, abstract narration, and dreamlike hallucination.
Fortune may be described as a multimedia Tarot reading though the artists make no presumptions regarding fate or destiny. Similar to the way the sleeping brain to better inform our waking lives seeks hidden patterns by mixing and matching its memories and feelings, Potter-Belmar Labs goal is to suggest fresh reference points and surprising connections.
