THE 18TH ANNUAL
CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL
HALFLIFERS AND FRIENDS: REACTIONS IN REACTION
DVD LAUNCH & SCREENING PROGRAM
MONDAY, JUNE 6TH @ 6PM

Please join us for a video launch party for the compilation DVD,

HalfLifers: The Complete History (1992-2010), the definitive pixel packet of

tulpoidal activation artists Torsten Zenas Burns and Anthony Discenza. For

one show only, the HalfLifers will re-imagine the Gene Siskel Film Center’s

theater into a saturated fictional exploration curation vehicle, navigating a

journey into the interior reaches of HalfLifers’s “videonic” backlog of afterlife

relationships, psychic sandwich surgery, and rescue rituals. This

manifested spatio-temporal Chicago hub will sync up and collaborate with

other pictographic projection artists including Anne McGuire, Jennifer

Reeder, Joe Gibbons, Bjorn Melhus, Virocode, and Animal Charm.
