Drawing upon a wide array of sources and references ranging from concepts and notions extracted from the work of Deleuze and Guattari, to found photographs and stills from films, to images from sci-fi literature, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO KURT STEINER is a layering of recording and live presentation in two parts doubling and mirroring one another. Through various unlikely combinations of technology, live recording and superimposed playback, a limited set of themes and images are delivered with repetition and variation, exploring in the process a shifting sense of visuality achieved through synthesis of diverse means - text, performance, sound transmission, technology. This is the second part of a two-part performance, beginning Thursday at the Experimental Sound Duos show.   Pedalto Institution for Incorporated Art A high-ranking official of the Pedalto Institute will deliver a report on the recent activities of the Institute.
