About SHARE:
Fidget is bringing SHARE Philly back this season! SHARE is a place to communicate and collaborate in a group sound and dance improvisation. Electronic musicians, dancers, media and sound artists and curious observers are all welcome. Bring your gear and plug into the mix, come jam with other improvisers, or just watch and listen.
About Artist in Residence, Grant Bouvier:
Grant Bouvier is an electronic artist and composer based in Philadelphia who's sound and video works focus on dead media formats, weird circuits, and uncertainty. Through the use of obsolete and obscure electronic instruments and interfaces he seeks to puncture the computational artifice of the postdigital world to reveal the bizarre and eerie states that exist beneath its glossy surface.
