DeKam Vs Nalepa could not have happened on a more perfect night, it was almost 70 degrees in downtown Houston. The skyline was beautiful and a mixed crowd of a few hundred came out for the performance. Some sat on blankets with picnic suppers & drinks, while others stood front and center watching Johnny and Steve work their laptops. Johnny utilized the architecture of the site as projection surfaces and it was amazing the see video that at one moment was bouncing off the cement pilings of the Sabine Street bridge and at the next moment reflected back up from the water in the bayou. This was a true site-dependent installation and very cool! I am excited to see upcoming public projects from the Buffalo Bayou Partnership.

Houston: Join us this Thursday for a one-time-only, site-specific spectacle on the Buffalo Bayou. This environmental light and sound installation is the creation of video artist Johnny DeKam and composer / laptop musician Steve Nalepa. The show utilizes a special multi-moving mirror projection system, adding a new dimension to the visuals. Stroll beneath the bridges of the Sabine Promenade to experience DeKam's abstract moving geometries and architectural juxtapositions against Nalepa's electro-ambient "Left Coast Liquid" music. Here is a peek at the site

Produced by the good folks at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts
