Weekend Art Pick: Vision Quest 2013
Okay, okay. So it already started last night. But if you're only going to make it to one art event this weekend, check out Vision Quest 2013.
Held at Mana Contemporary in East Pilsen near the river, Vision Quest is a three-day post-internet [IRL] translation of the dinca.org blog experience, featuring a handful of screenings and live A/V performances that travel the niches of internet art, computer art, new and experimental media, video art, avant-garde film and video, documentary and ethnographic cinema.
You should go to this because new media and other four-dimensional art is inherently exciting because it's novel and it moves. Let's face it -- paintings are great and all but sometimes standing around in a gallery looking at stuff that doesn't move gets old. And you have to admit there are certain expressive limitations with traditional medias that new medias are able to tackle quite effectively. Why not glimpse into the future of art? Expand your mind and then enjoy some badass after-parties.
Mana contemporary is located at 2233 S. Throop St., and Vision Quest takes continues tonight and tomorrow night starting at 7. More information can be found at visionquest.dinca.org. Facebook invite here.
