Digital Artists Carve Their Own Space

GAFFTA, a new nonprofit that provides support and work space for digital artists - including the artist who produced the Radiohead video for "House of Cards" -- held their launch fundraiser gala (disclaimer: I was a co-host) in the art gallery space the organization transformed out of an abandoned adult theater in the Tenderloin.

The featured art ranged from data visualization displays to interactive video wall installations. Among the crowd of attendees were Silicon Valley fixtures, including Facebook's Randi Zuckerberg, Twitter's Chloe Sladden, GAAFTA's Joe Brilliant Joe Brilliant and prolific entrepreneur Peter Hirshberg.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
