07 Dec Joe Diebes @ GCAC
After a very nice lunch at the Gypsy Den in the Santa Ana Artists Village today I was able to catch Joe Diebes video installation at Grand Central. It’s a combination of video and audio that is described as:
In Joe Diebes’ latest music driven installation work the audience is invited to wander through a labyrinthine arrangement of video projections that document the everyday behavior of the urban human specimen. At rest: people with blank stares standing on street corners, people smoking cigarettes outside of office buildings, people deep in their own thoughts as they are carted along by city buses. In motion: people navigate the flows and vectors of crowds and street traffic. These figures become vessels through which the music flows. The ever-changing score acts as a constantly shifting filter for the images: sometimes providing hypnotic rhythms that pulse through the entire crowd, sometimes suggesting a subtle violence that exists in this dense multiplication of isolated individuals. The composite result is a richly layered kaleidoscope of images and sound that heightens the viewer/listener’s awareness of the forces at work in contemporary urban life.
