The Painted People Ride Again at Gallery 128

I was privileged to be part of the
show "What's So Great About Reality"
featuring the artwork of Kaitlin Martin and Jefre Harwoods.
On November 4th, we had a screening of the Painted People's latest adventure!


Using two projectors and two videos, 
the imagery met in the middle of the room on two translucent scrims.
Below, Kaitlin raises a glass!


One image streams features the Painted People flying and floating,
the other features a flowing stream of artwork (by myself, Kaitlin and Jefre)
and pictures of my various travels, all of it filtered through computer
programs like Photoshop and After Effects.

Jefre's work features headlines and enigmatic code phrases and comments about our
current world, like "Drone Blunder" below.





Dale is one of our first visitors, and he gazes at Kaitlin's imagery and
at the People as they float by.

Thanks to everyone who came and hung out with Jefre, Kaitlin, the Painted People
and me at Gallery 128 on a warm evening in November, 2015!
