CARTUNE XPREZ presents PDX-PSY-PRI, a special event featuring animated visions by Adrian Freeman, Shana Moulton, and James Duesing. Follow these videos through a landscape of shrunken technology as each artist escapes with distinctly warped visions of a strange new world. Featuring a sneak-peek of some of Freeman's video work before his debut performance with MEAN AGE at the TBA festival on September 13th!
Peter Burr, Christopher Doulgeris, and Cassandra C Jones started CARTUNE XPREZ in 2006 as a way to highlight the energy and spirit of contemporary artists who utilize highly accessible tools to make sophisticated video work. For PDX-PSY-PRI, Peter Burr has scooped up a potent dose of artists that capture a sense of magic and the supernatural in their motion pictures.

"Broken Synapses and Frozen Hallucinations"
A program of Psychedelic and Psychotropic incursions by Marianna Ellenberg.
Silverized teeth, plutonium meltdowns, dripping spirals, quarky tunes and broken neurons—this is your brain on drugs and it may never get off! These videos explore a psychedelia that is underhanded and overused, the mind altering platittudes of internet surfing and tv injection, the highs of everyday objects to the lows of cinematic de-ja vou. The fix is free, but the flashbacks are re-calcitrant.
Marianna Ellenberg is a video artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Her creative practice centers around research into the contemporary body-psyche, through an aesthetic investigation into the discourse of mental health culture and advertising semiotics. Through video and sound installation, texual animation and hyppereal photography, she unveils the conditioning of the symbolic self and its inevitable breakdown. Ellenberg's work spans from abstract Super8mm animations, to video installation, sound work and color photography. Her films and videos have been shown widely, in such venues as The N.Y. Underground Film Festival (2007), The Collectif Jeune Cinéma (2003), LA Freewaves (2006), and The Dallas Video Festival (2007).
