Wed 30 Nov, 2011, 8pm

Backbreakerneckbrace is a collaborative effort between video artist Dawn Bendick and audio/visual artist Michael Haleta, who have worked together for over a decade creating elaborately designed and highly detailed animations. They continually work with collaborators to fully realize their structured audio and video endeavors. Timing and synchronization are key elements in their work placing the audio and visuals in a constant exchange of information within pre-composed time constraints. They have shown their work at numerous shows and events including, Tonic, NY, NY, Art Scape, Baltimore, MD, Transmissions Festival, Chicago, IL, the Back-Up Festival (Bauhaus), Weimar, Germany, and at the Whitney (Graduate Program Film Series), NY, NY.

There will be a post-concert Q&A with Andrew Capetta.
