THUNDERDOME - An assault on your senses @ Loft A5
FRI, APR 12 8:30p
The Stimulator and Mutagen Visuals infuse their visionary
talent with slick media, visual textures, temporal possibilities,
tactile and aural potential to present an assault on your
senses. On Friday, April 12, 2002 Thunderdome will blast audiences
and participants with a series of groundbreaking explorations
of digital media that includes video, music, and the art of
games. Armed with an arsenal of visual ammunition, Brain Bartram
(Mutagen) and Franklin Lopez (The Stimulator) will duel alongside
their favorite local DJ’s Sharaab, Nav, Hymn, Radioscience
and Mind Expansion Technologies.
Thunderdome is an opportunity to become immersed in art that
is unfettered, uncensored and unafraid to experiment. This
where the cutting edge of multimedia gets sharpened. The ingenious
elements of Thunderdome involve the use of music combined
with video projections to raise the level of consciousness
and awareness of the VJ. At the event informational sheets
will be given out as well as a limited supply of CD-Rom’s
with VJ software and Internet links.
Thunderdome will also feature the controversial video sculpture
“The Masturbation Station” by Shawn Knight, and
a demonstration of the complex VJ program NATO by Nathan Jones
of Lifeform Project. There will also be vintage home video
game consoles such as the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Intellivision
and emulators of popular arcade games.
Thunderdome is more than just a party, it’s an educational
project of digital artfare. This event is destined to take
the art community by storm, making it one of the most exciting
multimedia performances of the year. All in all this night
promises to live up to it’s subtitle “An assault
on your senses”
Friday, April 12, 8:30 PM to 12:00 AM.

SAT, APR 20 10p
The official after-party for the String Cheese Incident
show at the Fabulous Fox showcasing a diverse mix of national
and local DJ talent and live performance from two of Atlanta’s
top bands.
This year on 4/20 DangerCrew is holding our most diverse event
to date. Headlining this celebration is a DJ of national distinction,
DJ HARRY, hailing from Colorado. He has gained widespread
notoriety and acclaim for his house remixes of The String
Cheese Incident, who will be playing to a sold out crowd at
the Fabulous Fox that same night. The event has been tagged
by the band’s management as the official after-party
for the concert
due to Harry’s involvement and close proximity of the
club to the Fox (3 blocks).Joining Harry in the main room
will be 2 of Atlanta’s up and coming bands,
each with their own unique sound and style. First, AERIAL,
Atlanta’s top live electronic act, whose recent accolades
include headlining the most successful New Years Eve party
in the city, 002 at the Sheraton Downtown, gracing the cover
of 99Xpress in January, a feature article in Creative Loafing
in February, the release of their debut LP, Chasing Thoughts,
a CD release party at the Roxy and a very successful performance
at the ASCAP showcase for the Winter Music Conference in Miami.
This show will mark their first Atlanta performance in nearly
2 months! www.aerial2012.comAnd, don’t miss the opportunity
to catch MOJO99. One of Atlanta’s most promising hip-hop
acts; they combine the talents and harmonies of 3 incredible
lyricists with a complete band and DJ/turn-tablist. Their
sound has been described as combining the best of the mainstream
with a true underground flare.
Yahoo! Sports NBA Rhythm 'n Rims @ Centennial Oly Park
APR 20-21 1:00p

Rims, presented by Reebok, at Centennial Olympic Park. The
