Dutch artist Jaap Blonk is a self-taught composer, performer and poet renowned for his powerful stage presence and exuberant approach to improvisation. Recently, a renewed interest in mathematics has led the artist to explore the possibilities of algorhythmic composition in the creation of works which fuse music, visual animation and poetry. Tonight, Blonk presents a very rare performance/projection program featuring live presentations of original graphic scores, live tracks to silent films, an interpretation of Man Ray’s composition Lautgedicht (1924), and examples of Blonk’s solo videos and “interactive animations.”
