About Deathbed:
Deathbed takes inspiration from ancient Greek ceramics, using the same style of visual representation in order to allude to dramatic episodes from Greek mythology in which the protagonists' struggle ends in an escalating spiral of excessive violence. The video presents a decadent world where the distinction between pleasure and humiliation is obscured and the battle between Eros and Thanatos is destructive.

About the program:

LOVE Sum Game
This is a video night about duets: from lovers to enemies, and about relationships' promises and leftovers, from emotional to physical. This night goes in cycles between days and nights, winners and losers, life and death- it starts with a love bird and ends with a zero sum game.

Artists include Stephanie Lempert, Eytan Heller, Ofri Cnaani, Tricia Mclaughlin, Dan Acostioaei & Ann Wodinski, and Ariel Efron

Laconic Zero hit the stage first time late 2004 and was founded by the bass player and composer Trond Harald Jensen (b.140379) (aka mindy misty, turboraketti). As his first sounds on the commodore 64 saw it's birth 1993 it's a matter of course he still uses this machine for creativity and inspiration. Laconic Zero live shows has so far been on stages in Oslo and Bergen. Progressive beats traced by distorted metal bass filth with intense 8-bit synths are the beginning of this experimental one man band. Laconic Zero will work with producer Mark Kramer in NYC late october 2006 on the debut album which will be released by the Oslo indie-label Handmade Records.Inspired of bands like dazzling killmen, trans am and next life this project's in development.
