CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL 2011

THE 18TH ANNUAL 
CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL
HALFLIFERS AND FRIENDS: REACTIONS IN REACTION
DVD LAUNCH & SCREENING PROGRAM
MONDAY, JUNE 6TH @ 6PM

Please join us for a video launch party for the compilation DVD,
HalfLifers: The Complete History (1992-2010), the definitive pixel packet of
tulpoidal activation artists Torsten Zenas Burns and Anthony Discenza. For
one show only, the HalfLifers will re-imagine the Gene Siskel Film Center’s
theater into a saturated fictional exploration curation vehicle, navigating a
journey into the interior reaches of HalfLifers’s “videonic” backlog of afterlife
relationships, psychic sandwich surgery, and rescue rituals. This
manifested spatio-temporal Chicago hub will sync up and collaborate with
other pictographic projection artists including Anne McGuire, Jennifer
Reeder, Joe Gibbons, Bjorn Melhus, Virocode, and Animal Charm.
