The 2008 Transmodern Festival

The 2008 Transmodern Festival begins in Baltimore this coming Thursday! This means sound installations, performance sets, DJing, and films galore. Think SXSW with a postmodern-sepia filter thrown on it in Photoshop. While I don’t have quite enough money in The Hippodrome slush fund to send myself down there, I’ll be keeping tabs on the festival, especially on the performers who remain unassociated.
One of the several artists I’ll be paying attention to is Melissa Scherrer, an interesting independent videographer and music maker. Check our her latest piece, the oddly hypnotic “Genesis”:
And while we’re on the subject of experimental-musical film, check out Mike Paré’s equally hypnotic “Transmagon 5.”
