This Saturday, July 22nd 2006 BAP presents BAPLab 2006, A One Day Festival of New Media Art, Electronic Music, DJs and Bands Celebrating Culture. We have curated over 80 Artists into 8+ separate rich and diverse Art, Music, Video and New Media programs.
BAPLab is a call to arms to the disparate tribes of New York’s digital-futurists, drawing together from among the best and the brightest of a new generation of artists and musicians.
:: New Media Art Programs ::
Culling artists from the rosters of the MoMA, The Whitney Museum, and the Venice Biennial BAPLab is featuring over 40 visual artists. Spread out over the 20,000 sq foot first floor are 20+ rooms filled with a dazzling array of New Media Installations, Light Sculptures, User Controlled Video Installations, Interactive Robots, Floors that move under your feet, Plants that make sound and more. New Media Artists include Benton C. Bainbridge, Doug Henderson, Ernesto Klar, Feedtank, free103point9, Guy Ben-Ner, LoVid, Mighty Robot AV Squad and the ITP Digital Showcase.
We have paired live video performances with most of the music at BAPLab. The participating visualists have been curated from the pool of amazing talent living here in NYC. The complete roster of participants can be found here.
The full roster of participating visual artists is listed on the BAPLab 2006 Program.
:: Music Programs ::
Spanning 2 floors and 2 decades, music from Microsound, Avant-Guarde, Ambient and Academic all the way through to
Minimal Techno, Tech-House, Dub and Post Rock, BAPLab hosts musicians that are exemplary
in their fields. The day begins slowly, with the music soft and cerebral and
gradually builds in energy until the Night Program Begins.
On the first floor, for the Night Music Program we've got a Brooklyn Post Rock Showcase followed by the Harkness AV Salon.
Producers and DJs currently redefining minimal techno and dance music round out BAPlab, raising the Festival's energies into a digital landscape of beats and blips. The closing lineup for BAPLab promises to keep you moving until the sunrises on Sunday.
