The Body is the Interface
Downtown
A double bill of performances by Oglala Lakȟóta artist Kite (Music, BFA ‘14) and Mexico City-based collective Interspecifics brings together machine learning technologies, sound, the body, and Indigenous cosmologies. For Wičháȟpi Wóihaŋbleya (Dreamlike Star), Kite performs with a custom computer that translates her body movements into experimental sounds and video by means of two hair braids she manipulates. Kite performs scores she has translated into Lakȟóta visual language, derived from the dreams of women and two-spirit community members, who consider dreaming as a sacred epistemological practice. Using her own body as an interface, each of Kite’s movements trains the machine learning software encoded with a Lakȟóta data set. Interspecifics presents Meta Sincronía 1.0, a live sonic and visual composition with a feedback processor that follows rhythms and synchronizations of the human heart. Three performers outfitted with a heart-rate monitor interface with automated ceremonial leather drums—inspired by Rarámuri instruments. Beats synchronize between humans and machines, fluctuating from chaos to unison.

Eric Ching Quartet ft. Morgan Delaney
East Hollywood
Eric Ching is a jazz drummer and composer currently residing in Los Angeles, CA. With his compositions, he aims to explore new territory while channeling the spirits of McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, and Kenny Garrett. His pieces all have a searching quality where he isn’t quite sure what he’s looking for, but he’ll know when he’s found it. He yearns for the unexpected and his songs gradually unfold like a Tarantino movie. Morgan Delaney is a crushing vocalist who will both warm your heart and dazzle with technique. She recently graduated from CSULB and won her first Downbeat award for undergraduate jazz voice soloist.

Nicholas Bono Kennedy: Dinner Party
Arts District
Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Dinner Party (While the World Burns), a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Nicholas Bono Kennedy. When does a cherished object cross the line into burdensome excess? How can we attempt to enjoy our lives when the world burns around us? In his debut solo exhibition with the gallery Dinner Party (While the World Burns), Kennedy examines the intricate relationship between beauty and burden amid a backdrop of pressing political and ecological challenges through his rich, colorful paintings. Balancing life’s beautiful moments with the chaos of living, the LA-based artist fills his compositions with lush arrangements of potted plants, pet piles, and scenes of domestic life, prompting viewers to find appreciation for our lives in a world that is beautiful and tragic.

SARAH HENNIES - 'MOTOR TAPES' (West Coast Premiere)
Historic Filipinotown
Taking its name from neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás’s characterization of the human brain as containing innumerable “tape loops” that run continuously within the mind, Motor Tapes is composed of densely overlapping patterns of sound, with musicians representing synapses that both fire independently and work together to achieve complex activities. Llinás’s description of this phenomena is strikingly musical: “The activity in the basal ganglia is running all the time, playing motor patterns and snippets of motor patterns amongst and between themselves […] they seem to act as a continuous, random, motor pattern noise generator.” “I am interested in the motor tapes theory,” Hennies has said, “because it suggests that alongside lived experience there is a mysterious biological basis for our inclinations, talents and identities.”
