Digital flyers for the upcoming show by St Celfer (John Parker) in São Paulo.
The installation will include a distributed sound composition (sub-tracks of a single large work aimed at the walls via directional speakers) and a performative drawing component (semi-ritualistic mark-making inspired by artist Lygia Clark's notion of "breaking the plane," in this case of the gallery space). The work looks back to the mysticism of Malevich, auf Klint, and Kandinsky while employing the toolkit(s) of the digital noise scene.

In a post 15 years ago I wrote about Parker's work at Front Room gallery in Williamsburg. We have since collaborated on some art and music projects.

You call these music videos "non-videos"?
Yes.
Don't you think people deserve to watch something dynamic while listening to a tune?
Many YouTubes just "sit there."
Don't you want people to be excited watching you dramatically turn knobs, like Skrillex?
No.
Are you really hitting the "play" key here, or is that faked?
That is done live.
