Cancel your other plans... A DRIVE-IN 4 !!! will feature an other-worldly 35mm multiple projector performance by JEFFREY PERKINS !!! with some spontaneous music and other surprise maybe participatory stuff going on outdoors.

About the performance:

It is said that the visual cortex occupies 80% of brain activity, so what is it for the blind? Visual light on focal planes from multiple sources at frequent and variable intervals, both deepens and suspends perception of time as we normally come to rely upon and it is there where the meditative state is found. The feeling is sublime residency in between Perception and feeling, between space and time, and also where the marriage of these primary perceptions takes place. “Suspended disbelief” is how it is called in cinema, in early cinema, This was discovered to be the effect, the loading of images, one after another at the perfectly synchronous intervallic zone of the visual & biorhythmic process. For the performer, the target lays in the tuning and the sharing of these frequencies.

Jeff Perkins, 8/24/09

No automobiles are required at A DRIVE-IN events, we celebrate transportation in general.
