San Francisco-based videomaker Bryan Boyce finds equal inspiration in the absurdity of American politics and the expansive visual possibilities of music. In this, his first major retrospective, he introduces a playful portfolio of shorts celebrating the darkly comic antics of the conservative media circus, as well as the ways in which music can act as a sounding board for explorations of the image. In addition to several premieres, the program features the Dick Cheney-Scarface mash-up, America’s Biggest Dick, George Bush’s invasion of Teletubby-land in State of the Union, and energized compositions featuring the music of Tin Hat Trio, 20-Minute Loop, and Jondi & Spesh. BONUS ATTRACTION! Doors open at 8pm for this pop tartist’s reception AND the concurrent launch of the new DVD, Golden Digest, from kindred found-video pranksters Animal Charm!
