Volunteer Videographers needed for performance event! July 6, 2008

We're looking for people with miniDV camcorders who would like to participate in an art performance this coming Sunday, July 6th, at Machine Project (www.machineproject.com) in Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA.

A stuntman will be jumping out of our 2nd-story window at 6:30pm as part of artist Jon Rubin's piece, "A Practical Demonstration". We would like to invite folks to attend the leap, with a miniDV video camera (everyone’s got one nowadays, we can probably even supply you with one if you don’t). The videographers will be arranged in a large circle on the ground around the spot where the body will fall. They will document the leap and then turn over their video footage (tapes to be provided, unless you want to donate one). This footage will then be edited to create a very clumsy “Matrix” effect that suspends the stuntperson in mid-air with a 360 degree pan. We would like to get at least 40 people to film, so tell a friend!

“A Practical Demonstration” is an exercise in suspended orbits, suspended disbelief and circular group formations.
