EVENT: After Dark: SMARTBOMB
DATE: September 21 2023Curated by SMARTBOMB, the event combined music, live performance, and one-of-a-kind filmmaking. Drawing from SMARTBOMB’s community, “After Dark” pairs musicians with visual artists to present three distinctive sets that allow the viewer to think about audio and visual art in a whole new way.
In between sets, short films made by emerging Bay Area artists and from the Exploratorium’s iconic Cinema Arts collection were showcased.
Featured artists for this event included:
Set One: Music from AshTreJinkins, live visuals by rose cherami
Set Two: Music from RAVEN, live visuals by Melanie Marie
Set Three: Music from Xyla, live visuals from Macro Waves
Short films also included were by Xyla, Macro Waves, RAVEN, Melanie Marie, AshTreJinkins, rose cherami, Anna Firth, Aaron Patrick (Perfect Chao), Laneya Billingsly (Billie0cean), Jules Retzlaff (Cereal4thekids), Tessa Shimizu & W.A.L.A, and the Exploratorium Cinema Arts collection.
For this event, I paired visual inspiration to the work of Raven. I preformed the visuals through live-coding.
