For Optronica, Other Cinema's semi-annual celebration of Live A/V, we're unpacking not only the robust tradition of SF light shows, but also a rough and ready lineup of visual-music performers that the Bay Area continues to foster! Headlining is Drone Poet, the visionary twosome of Alan Korn and Daniel Konhauser that summon up a synthesis of projections and guitar noise that promises to transport all aboard!! ALSO Eric Theise is back on our gallery floor with collaborator Techno DJ Sean Ocean, and a version of thee Theise animation that is now circling the top of the Salesforce Tower! ATA vet Carl Diehl enriches this discourse on sound/gesture/image hybridity with his ingenious video collab with Negativland visualiste Sue-C. PLUS Craig Baldwin's double-system media-massage on Secret Squirrel, MildRocket Jefferson's dream machine trance-trip Effluxive Mirror, Auroratones, the cosmic-electronic contraption, light show snippets, optical-printed psychedelia, and hippies high on Alpha! AND Russ Forster live theremin-busking on our sidewalk!

Cost: $12
