DILATE video excerpt
The hyperactive eye
nervous, yet
wanting to catch everything.
See.
More.
-----------------------------------------
In April 2020, Carole compressed her work in video installation to fit beneath her kitchen table, creating an intimate live "venue," and invited Gloria, Scott, Luisa and Jon to work with her live visuals in a form of interactive improvisation-based dialogue.

The atomization of light

PARASOL is a live installation performance exploring the complex behavior of light filtering through a dense canopy of perforated surfaces. Each improvisational performance reveals a different winding path through this intimate space that can appear microscopic one moment and hugely expansive the next.

AERIAL
____________________________________________________________
The title AERIAL refers to the desire for the long view, the perspective that allows for both observation from a distance and inspired understanding in charting one's course. Consistently playing with the perception of scale in Kim's under-the-kitchen-table micro installations, "Aerial" reflects a tenuousness of solidity. Stability/instability.

AUDIO VISUAL
Module 12: Persistence Gombus!
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloist: Sarah Belle Reid-Trumpets & Electronics
To find a way into this mammoth oeuvre, Carole invited Vinny to do a collaborative improvisatory drawing while listening to the music. From a bed of multicolor, squirrely lines, forms emerged. This became the visual basis for Persistence Gombus and opened up a point of entry into further compositions.
"Even to This Day..."
Movement One - Inoculation in 12 sections/modules
All Compositions and Arrangements - Vinny Golia
Ninewinds BMI
Recording - Wayne Peet, Vinny Golia
(with additional remote recording by selected solo artists)
Recorded from March 2020 - August 2021
Edited, Mixed and Mastered By Wayne Peet
Produced by Vinny Golia and Wayne Peet
Module 10: Persistence for William
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloists: Tim Feeney-percussion, Cassia Streb-viola, Vinny Golia-conch, shakuhachi, percussion
From the start of the pandemic, one of the areas of exploration that has been a deep dive for Carole has been designing customized particles for particle emitters for live drawing. For this piece she extracted parts from machine assembly diagrams and played with the timing of disintegration. The music seemed to keep wanting to plough forward, build then disassemble.

Module 12: Needs & Uses - The Rolisican government questions Fukoda's support in the cave of Neon†(Perhaps it's the radiation?)
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloist: Tim Feeney-percussion
Tim's haunting percussion animates audio-reactive elements that reveal fragments of the architectural structure of an abandoned greenhouse.

Module 4: Determination, 1-5 bridge to solos
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloists: Tim Feeney-percussion, VInny Golia-G piccolo
The back and forth inscription of sound is both seismic record, pulse and building of an emergent landscape that later gets irrigated from below.

Module 1: Observation
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloist: Vinny Golia-contrabass flutes, hun, percussion
For this piece, Carole wanted to capture the fluidity of breath and sound, the transmutation of dried leaves to skin, the suspended solidity of moisture.

Nicola Melville, piano
___________________________________________
By directing the Zeitgeist musicians to explore and restrict their palette to mechanical sounds on their instruments, composer Scott Miller was already steering his compositions in the direction of the unexpected. This diet of whups, whines, metallic flourishes and klangs triggers an intricate series of calculations within Scott's electronic realm setting off disruptive moments that he refers to as "events" or "bells." The very spoons that feed this electronic system are signaled to navigate further down the score. The chain reaction is not linearly evident as in a Rube Goldberg contraption, but one has the impression that an organism with a developing nervous system is under the microscope of our attention.
It is from this observational point of view, peppered by imagery from shared books read (China Mieville, Susanna Clarke), that I conjured the visuals for this soundscape. Through frequency analysis, I connect the aural impulses to an equally reactive visual nervous system that floats and spasms to the very sounds that animate the organism. The smallest change in variable produces markedly different behaviors. With a deeply rooted fascination by the way video projection behaves with different physical materials, I created two micro installations, one of dried plant matter and the other of glass and wax paper. The view from live cameras are composited in real time to give this organism space to move and breathe. A fine-tuned interaction of close observation and response allow for this world to bloom and unfold.

___________________________________________
The preceding movement #1 (vimeo.com/503979177) suggests an internal world or organism full of excitable nerves and vessels. For Coincident #2, I was looking to create more of a sense of spaciousness. These odd hollow parasols descend and ascend on long tethers and ultimately exert territorial behavior. They sway from the weather pattern of kickback winds of explosions that are sometimes met by complete indifference like a meteor that elides a collision on its course.

___________________________________________
Agitable. Frenetic, strobey, spastic, nervy. Synchronizing the pitter-patter of our inner clocks. The mothership is implied--for a short visit or here to stay? The feelers probe for input, empathic vibrations in the atmosphere, venturing in closer to take another sniff.
GLASS HOUSE
https://vimeo.com/424519847
beneath-the-kitchen-table series
Carole Kim (visuals) and Laura Steenberge (sound) explore worlds within worlds within a micro installation that slowly evolves. A glass house suggests a permeability between exterior and interior. Particles of solidity dissolve into cloudy organic trails. Are we reassured or made more vulnerable by our ephemeral, loving attention to detail?
(d(e)volve)
Carole Kim, visuals
Paul Chavez, sound
March 2020
Hunkering down these past months, Kim sought solace in the details. Inventing libraries of custom particle emitters, Kim links these new "brushes" to her ongoing love of drawing and the micro-sensitivity of the gesture. Trails form clusters that float, momentarily obfuscate then dematerialize. (d(e)volve) is based on an online performance with longtime collaborator and sound designer Paul Chavez, exploring the means that are available to us now to still connect in the moment through attentive improvisation.

"LUMINEX-LA: Dialogues of Light" curated by @nowart_la featuring the work of @refikanadol, @nancybakercahill, @raraspeaks, @shinealighton, and @akikoyamashita3d.
I refer to this piece as an ephemeral monument to the moment. Pairing "ephemeral" with "monument" points to an intention that can embrace both the humble/vulnerable and the collectively meaningful. It felt significant that it was my first time stepping out to do a large scale public art piece since the beginning of the pandemic. Likewise, for the performers and many people who attended this event it was their first time stepping out in fair numbers as well. There were so many layers to this durational installation. Live music, dance, visuals, words and image from the community produced an ever-evolving weave addressing the questions: Where are we now? How do we emerge from this period of isolation? How do we learn from it? rebuild for the better? I was deeply moved by the attentive atmosphere and engagement in the space. I, personally, am in search of new ways of thinking, envisioning. Starting with these questions can point to new possibilities.

PROJECTION & LANDSCAPE
OAK: cellular
"The seed will search..."
Conceived and directed by artist-in-residence Carole Kim, “The seed will search” is a multimedia performance within Descanso Gardens that furthers Kim's ongoing investigation of landscape as a dimensional canvas for light, image, sound, text, body. In 1878, a devastating wildfire, the first recorded of its kind in LA County, swept through the region. Descanso Gardens is known for its canopy of old native California Live Oak Trees. There are five Heritage Oaks that survived this fire. Their forms speak to a gnarly resilience, persistence and perseverance that this performance taps into. The title is a line from the poem "The Weeping Mulberry Tree for four voices" written by John Levy for this performance.
