Sonor Et Visio-7pm, October 9 at Hiram Van Gordon Gallery


“In the future, art will not be created by individuals but by humankind.”- John Cage

“You can’t copyright no beats!”- Flavah Flav

Black/Jones, multi-media performance

loosely based on the writings of a Medieval monk, Abbot Suger, who’s theory of “Lux Esterna” revolutionized Gothic stained glass work

From Black/Jones’ statement:

Our work is based on several assumptions; first, that life is good, second, that two artists working together are better than one working alone, and third, that information is there for the taking. That said, we seek to create new works from both existing and original audio-visual information.


We are part of a long line of collage theorists extending from Kurt Schwitters to Kara Walker, from John Cage to Brian Eno.


Using the techniques of digital sound and video editing- both in the studio and in live performances- our work explores the history of cinema, the culture of the INternet, the richness of language, the pervasiveness of music and all the ways in which media intersect and interact to create new languages expressive of our time.
