APRÉS AVANT GARDE FESTIVAL an afternoon of alternative performance work on the Staten Island Ferry and terminals occurred Sunday, Oct 1, 2017.
Day de Dada Performance Art Collective organized the event in commemoration of the Avant Garde Festival that was produced in 1967 by Charlotte Moorman*.
My performance for the event was an outfit of navy blue and orange, the ferry colors, and a body cam attached to a bag on my chest.
Charlotte Moorman was known for her cello performances while wearing a bra of 2 tv monitors created by Nam June Paik.
My piece turned that around, instead of broadcasting video I was recording it.
You can view the video on YouTube.

Since the recording was not controlled the results were chance visuals- a lot of scenery shaking, bouncing or swooshing by, ceiling and sky, color effected by the sunshine. The several hours captured were edited down and the final video is similar to the video that I took with my phone at the same time, two versions of the same experience. The body cam was on more often though so I recorded some conversations that would have otherwise been missed.
