Snail Trail is an installation that incorporates a laser animation that is projected 360° onto a column, where the viewer walks around around to follow the course of the snail. The projection surface is made of a phosphorescent material, which creates a glowing trail that fades out slowly, letting the viewer simultaneously see what’s happening, what has happened and what will happen. This reflection on time is elaborated further through the endless cycling of the work, as well as through the recurring pulse of sound and light, which references the periodic natural phenomena like the tides or the seasons.
Instructor: Diana Sherlock

Performances by Icaro Zorbar (Bogota, Colombia)
Part of M:ST Performative Art Festival
October 16-19, 2012: Studio Residency at EMMEDIA (351 – 11 Ave SW, Suite #203)
October 20, 2012 @ 7-8PM: Performance of Assisted Installations at TRUCK Gallery (The Grain Exchange (Lower Level), 815 1st Street SW)
Working with an accumulation of mechanical and electronic music players, Zorbar adjusts the standard operation of these devices to place these machines into conversation with each other, transforming them by creating new relationships between the mechanical components. In these projects, Zorbar establishes a precarious balance of machines and music, objects and sound. The works have an ephemeral quality as many last just as long as the side of a record, a cassette tape or sometimes just the length of a song. There is also a poignant charm to these installations, creating a romantic anthropomorphic quality with the machines he plays with. From October 16 – 19, he will be holding a studio residency at EMMEDIA, where you can drop by to see his process. For his presentation at the M:ST Festival, Zorbar will present a “mini concert” at TRUCK Gallery with three different performances.
