You sure on that? It didn’t create a fan in me, and the people you saw dancing were plants. If the intention was to create a fan base, they would have been selling CDs and there would be a mailing list in the lobby. It was a carefully crafted attempt at creating spontaneity. Unfortunately, the spontaneous error at Cartune Express did a much better job….unless… Yes, THAT must have been Claude Wampler! Oh! She’s a genius!

This was a very clever piece. It created an entire fan base within one hour for a band unknown to the audience at the beginning of the show. I don’t know the artist’s intentions, but I think the work touched on the aspect of human nature that makes us root for and support one another when we witness a grand undertaking. Or it may have exposed us a gullible creatures being fed (and eating up) popular culture.
The execution was intriguing. Reminiscent of some Tony Conrad pieces.
