Forum Lounge: Kegan McGurk, MEMORY DRAIN

Performance artists Kegan McGurk and Elisabeth McMullin use a digital magic system mixing combinations of augmented reality, computer vision, and three dimensional programming to tell stories. This interactive video projection creates an immersive reality, allowing virtual objects, characters and animations to be placed, moved and dragged around the stage. MEMORY DRAIN incorporates a live drawing technique inspired by Vaudeville theatrics where the audience is drawn into the experience through interactive animations.

Support for Forum Lounge 2011-2012 is generously provided by: the National Endowment for the Arts, Andrea Lang Fund, Daniel Clark, Endevermusic Productions, the Franciscan Inn, KCSB, Santa Barbara Independent, Santa Barbara Winery, and Therese Schweidler. Forum Lounge is presented in association with the Santa Barbara Downtown Organization’s 1st Thursday.

ADMISSION IS FREE

About

CAF is a non-profit, non-collecting institution dedicated to exhibiting the highest quality of contemporary art while recognizing "the artists of tomorrow," and was founded in 1976 by artists and art supporters seeking a venue dedicated solely to contemporary art. What once began as a grassroots, artist-run organization with nominal funding now serves as the leading contemporary arts presenter in Central California. CAF offers its innovative education and exhibition programming to the region primarily free of charge. There is no admission fee because CAF believes that the arts should be accessible to all audiences of all persuasions. It truly is foundations and individuals from the community that keep CAF active, inspired and alive with opportunities for artists, children, and adults to experience all the visual and performing arts have to offer.
