EXHIBITION + TALK Workspace Unlimited: They WatchMonday – Saturday October 30 – December 16, noon - 6 PM
Opening reception with the artists:
Friday October 30, 5 - 9 PM
Full Immersion: Art and the 360-degree screen:
Tuesday November 17, 7 PM
Free + Open to the PublicWhen you play a video game, the virtual world remains confined to the screen. But viewers of They Watch will find themselves inside a virtual world bounded by a 360° projection screen. There, they'll encounter virtual beings or "bots", which watch them and, sometimes, ask them questions. Workspace Unlimited's installation artfully probes the boundary between the virtual and the real, the scripted and the spontaneous, the artificial and the human.

$15 / $10 / $5"These days, anything goes..." Zs, the scariest band from EMPAC's Between a Rock and a Tiny Bell concert, returns on Halloween (well ok, a day before) for a careening set of "[sputtering] Morse code dots of percussion and saxophone" (Ben Sisario, New York Times) as part of the New Nothing series. Opening will be Little Women, a quartet whose ghost notes and violent disassembling of their instruments concoct riotous sets that run the gamut from pop to free jazz to noise and back again.
