Hello and welcome…

.. to my updated website!

So, I finally broke down and switched over to a pre-fabricated “CMS”.. WordPress. What can I say. For all my technical savvy, WP seemed like a tool for dummies, and yet there it loomed, ominously, beckoning me out of my comfy custom-mysql-php safe-space.

As it it turned out, it hasn’t been too terrible. I’ve managed to port most of my custom features into a custom wordpress theme and plugin. I’ll be posting some notes about that whole process in the Internets category. I also added a Bio, CV, Contact page and Image section with stills from my videos very (very) quickly.

Ray Sweeten @ Fountain

MICROSCOPE Gallery is a new art space specializing in the works of film, video, sound and other time-based artists. The artists we present are independent, radical, experimenters and risk takers who range from the emerging to recognized pioneers and innovators.

MICROSCOPE also offers an ongoing screening, performance, and lecture series complementing the exhibitions as well as programs that showcase other artists.

Conceived in the heat wave of 2010, MICROSCOPE is the realization of a recurrent dream, dissolving the barriers between the white walls of the gallery and the darkened setting of the cinema/concert hall/theater space.

Ray Sweeten @ Microscope

Ray Sweeten will be presenting material produced in residency at the Experimental Television Center, followed by a live oscilloscope/audio improvisation.

Most of his videos are driven by audio sources in varying degrees of abstraction. Video Feedback is driven by Sine Wave oscillators. Live, two-channel audio is fed into the X-Y input of an oscilloscope, creating realtime Lissajous patterns.

We’re extremely proud to present this very special visual & sound performance as the 1st of Microscope Gallery’s Events Series, which will continue three times a week, Saturday through Monday, every month, for… until we can no longer resist!
