Data Garden Keeping Things Creative at Historical Society of Frankford June 15

Always keeping things creative in Philly, tonight as part of the Hidden City Festival 2013, Data Gardenwill explore the relationship between historical artifacts, sound and technology by creating an electro-mechanical polyphonic tape loop instrument that controls audio related to objects in the Frankford Historical Society Museum.” Each of the assembled sound samples will be played adjacent to the artifacts that inspired them. Attendees will be encouraged to play these tapes like an organ. There will also be performances by Spaceship Aloha, Jacob 2-2 (Moodgadget) and Mux Mool (Ghostly International), and they’ll be using media from digital archives like YouTube and Archive.org to create new works. If you are looking for a not-so-average night out, this is the place to be. (BTW: We highly recommend that you get your tickets in advance for the ridiculous savings and to reserve a spot for this limited-space event.) Historical Society of Frankford, 1507 Oxford St., 7pm – 10pm, $15 adv/$30 door, All Ages – Alexis V.
