DIRECTOR Lars Jan SCREENWRITER Paul Abacus, Lars Jan Program Category: New Frontier Artist Event: New Frontier Artists |
Riding the wave of TED talk fanaticism and armed with the latest wizardry in media technology and data visualization, the visionary/prophet/madman/cult icon Paul Abacus comes to Sundance to surf the boundary of what is real and what is hyperreal and preach visions of a world without national borders. Culminating in three performances at New Frontier, Abacus delivers a master class in persuasion for the Screen Age that promises to usher civilization into a new era. Lars Jan is the artistic director of Early Morning Opera, an art lab specializing in live, cinematic performance about America right now. His work has been supported by the Whitney Museum, Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, Princeton Atelier, Sherwood Award, MacDowell Colony, CalArts, Center for Cultural Innovation, and Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP). Jan is a 2011 TEDGlobal fellow. EarlyMorningOpera.com Paul Abacus is the St. Teresa of the Screen Age, perforated by pixels. Since getting booted from Oxford, Abacus has spent meaningful time as a park ranger and public speaker on the future of borders. VisualAnimals.com |
