Peter Nyboer at the Prelinger Library
Peter was a late addition to the First Friday event at Works/San Jose for september 2007. He did a music set and then did visuals for us for the rest of the night. He wrote to let me know of his upcoming gig:
Hi All,
I’m participating in the Illuminated Corridor on Wednesday evening at 7:16pm, near 8th and Folsom in SF. We’re filling the walls of the Prelinger library with projections from their archives, and filling your ears (and the neighborhood fm radio spectrum) with sound.
My project is an image-to-sound synthesizer. I’m using the movie images as data to create sound. Relying strictly on processing the images as the mode of composition and sound design, this arbitrary dataset will undoubtedly force me to paint myself into corners of cognition, perhaps leaving many listeners with the vaguely damning critique of “…Interesting…”
To supplement the stereo, I’ll have a really cheap multichannel sound system to disperse the sound in my area.http://www.illuminatedcorridor.com/20071003.html
***************
The Illuminated Corridor will light the the Prelinger Library, a private research library open to the public with collections encompassing some 50,000 books, periodical volumes and printed ephemera. The Library is linked to the Prelinger Archive, a collection of ephemeral films that are a key creative resource to artists of the Illuminated Corridor, and serve as a touchstone for the broader community of film, sound and bricolage artists.
The Corridor will take place during the Library’s traditional Wednesday Open House evening hours, where you are invited to lose yourself in the stacks of an extraordinary library turned inside out for an evening.
301 8th Street (corner of Folsom Street), Room 215 in San Francisco.
