INFINITE LIGHT LIMITED EDITION Video Premiere

Friday, October 7, 2011. 7-10PM

Please join us for the world premiere of a new dance media art work from Infinite Light.

Choreographer Brooke Broussard and video artist Benton-C Bainbridge are joined by composer Ben Bromley for a new dance, video and music art work based on footage created for Xi'an, China's 2011 International Horticultural Exposition. Bainbridge shot dancers Chelsea Retzloff, Kana Kimura, Ruby MacDougall, Hayley Jones and Brooke Broussard herself in a green screen studio in Shanghai and then transformed them with analog and digital FX to create cosmic collisions, tree spirits and blossoming flowers in the spirit of the Expo.

The video and choreography can be seen nightly in Xi'an through October 22, playing on 80 meter sprays of water and organic-shaped LED screens, both on land and underwater. The premiere of INFINITE LIGHT LIMITED EDITION gives audiences their first chance to see this work without traveling to Xi'an, condensed into a sensuous single channel mix and set to a new score by Ben Bromley of NewVillager.

BIO: 

Robert Henke, born 1969 in Munich, is a composer, sound designer, software developer, installation artist and multimedia performer. His art is about carefully shaped details behind the surface and gradual changes of repeating structures in different time scales. Many of his works are defined as potentially endless and slowly evolving states, thus inviting the audience to immerse themselves completely for a freely defined amount of time. His sonic explorations are rooted in academic sound research as well as in club culture. With his collaborative musical project 'Monolake' he became part of the legendary 'Chain Reaction' record label in the early 1990s, and shaped what later became 'the sound of Berlin techno music'.

Henke's strong interest in the interaction between a given physical space and the imaginary space defended in his art can be best experienced in one of his multiple loudspeaker surround concerts. His performances and installations have been shown at the Tate Modern in London, Centre Pompidou in Paris, MUDAM in Luxembourg, PS1 in New York, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney and others. His album 'Layering Buddha' received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica in 2007.
