Video live performance tonight at ST PAUL ST Gallery

Tonight at 7.30pm St Paul St presents a performance by Ko Nakajima working with Phil Dadson and other musicians and dancers to create a live performance work responding to and activating his work Tao installation in the exhibition Video Life. Kentaro Taki will also present a live video performance combining analogue and digital processes. Informed by an idea of finding a path to an artwork through a process rather than becoming attached to an outcome, Taki will attempt to find his way through a barrage of media to create his performance.
