Half Life – Performance by Cloud Eye Control & Artist Up-Close Discussion

A lamentation of fierce urgency, the latest multimedia production from Cloud Eye Control is an imagistic, visceral work inspired by the nervous fear felt in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Half Life explores the psychological fallout of global disaster, and how it affects our emotions and imaginations. The L.A.-based collaborators— Miwa Matreyek, Anna Oxygen, and Chi-wang Yang —bring their signature mix of projected animation, live performance and music to summon the unseeable forces that govern our collective sense of personal safety and control.
After the performance, join the Artist Up-Close discussion, moderated by Brown University professor Todd Winkler. Cloud Eye Control is featured as part of FirstWorks’ Frontier series.
