I'm Garrett Lynch (IRL)
A performance by Garrett Lynch
The performance continues ideas of the artist, identity and being from the works "Between Saying and Doing" and "On Exactitude of Similitude". The artist, wearing his now usual sandwich board, generates two hundred visually identical sandwich boards for participants to wear while all but taking control of the chat window to focus discussion on topics including identity, location, representation, original and copy, ‘reality’ and fiction.

Piano Drop
Man Michinaga/Patrick Lichty
“The Hansen-Ono Piano Method”, is an extension of Al Hansen’s historic FLUXUS work “Yoko Ono Piano Drop”, in which Al Hansen dropped a piano off of a building as an action for his colleague, Yoko Ono. In this action, Lichty's avatar (Man Michinaga) sits at the piano, while rains of pianos, anvils, sheep, and other whatnot rain down with cacaphanous results.

'Ceci n est pas une voiture'
by Ze Moo
This event is a Loft Opening and Live Performance taking place in Ze's loft space at the Odyssey Artists Residence. Ze Moo opens his Lofts Studio with a performance.
Saturday August 14 - 3 PM SLT - FINAL PERFORMANCE
Alan Dojoji/Alan Sondheim with Sandy Baldwin
Flesh Meat - With Coastal Avatars
A few lines about the piece from Alan Sondheim:
"I'm still looking at being-avatar in terms of sexuality, flesh, language; I do this through the lone avatar who goes nowhere, gets nowhere. There's no plot, nothing to reveal, nothing you don't already know, getting up in the morning, looking in the period. What's staring back at you has a name."
Performance by Alan Sondheim, Sandy Baldwin, and thanks to so many others.
