BUSY SIGNALS: TELEPHONIC ART IN MOTION

Pacific Film Archive presents: BUSY SIGNALS: TELEPHONIC ART IN MOTION, a two-part series:

-- Rotary on Wed Nov 16: Live Performance by Marisa Olson. Marshall McLuhan claimed that the word phony didn't enter the language until the word telephone did. This idea inspired Andy Warhol to develop a quasi–TV show with people arguing on the phone.

-- Touchtone on Wed Nov 30: Live Performance by Jon Brumit. Some filmmakers are closet phonephreaks, and tonight's program brings them out of the phone booth.

On both evenings, Benjamin Hill and Carrie Burgener from UC Berkeley's School of Information Management and Systems will involve us in a projected mosaic using your camera phone images as raw material.
