Digital in the Heart of Houston

"If you're a fan of video art, live music, or new media performance, Texas
is 
the place to be this week. From April 19-23, The Aurora Picture Show will 
present their annual Software Cinema festival at venues throughout Houston. 
The theme of this year's fest is 'Media Archeology,' and it offers a 
treasure trove of artists, including (in order of appearance) the a/v-jam 
collective Share, Tommy Becker, Rick Silva, Golan Levin, Sue Costabile, 
Scott Arford, Tree Wave, Lovid, Yacht, Nate Boyce, My Robot Friend, and 
Madeline Minx. Billed as a program of 'improvised, interactive, and 
multimedia performances,' the events will provide introductions to some of 
the most engaging new media artists practicing in the US. Whether through 
employment of the super high tech, nostalgically low-tech, or simply 
everyday materials, each performance will trace the ubiquity of software in 
our daily lives and in our modes of making and accessing contemporary art. 
Rhizome's Lauren Cornell and Marisa Olson join artist/producer Nick Hallett 
as the guest-curators of this year's festival. We look forward to heading 
south for this lively convergence of innovative and entertaining artists, 
and to the possibility of meeting a few Rhizome News readers!" -
