Andy Ditzler recreated the 1978 performance of Desirium Probe by James Nares last night at the Goat Farm. Ditzler is changing channels on a TV only he can see and hear, and he acts out and responds to the bits he sees. It was an entertaining and often hilarious performance. After the performance, James Nares skyped in to comment on the performance and to take questions. Also, Ditzler had some of Nares’ films playing on loop in other parts of the Goat Farm. Please click here for more photos and info from the performance.

Atlanta Streets Alive took over a 2 mile stretch of N. Highland Ave south of Virginia Ave for four hours on Sunday, May 20, 2012. Families cruised the street on bicycles, tricycles, skateboards, unicycles, roller skates and anything else human powered. No cars allowed!
In the middle of all of this, WonderRoot put on “TO THE FAIREST: An Allegorical Adventure Sport”.
From their announcement:
The game resembles a fusion of kickball, dodgeball, competitive dance, basketball, and trivia. The artists have devised a fixed set of rules as well as a process for changing, re-interpreting, and flat-out breaking said rules. The game will be refereed by Evan Fillon, frontman of the local sarcadelic punk band The Dandyls.
