This project questions the nature of how we make meaningful connections to the world around us. A series of random videos culled from the Internet will be played alongside new sound pieces created by some of Northeast Ohio's finest avant-garde musicians using resonant frequencies of the Vault space. The juxtaposition creates occasional accidental relationships between audio and video, adding meaning where none exists.

Contributing artists: bbob drake, Aaron Dilloway, Rob Galo, Lyn Goeringer, Lisa Miralia (aka the Mysterious Black Box), and David Russell Stempowski.

Christopher Auerbach-Brown and David Russell Stempowski will have a related performance at SPACES on June 5th, 6pm - 8pm.
