VideoDROID

When I saw the word "droid," my inner Star Wars geek came out, thinking it would be some tribute to the robot-humanoids of movies. Alas, no, this DROID is but a multimedia exhibition showcasing video as art via projection, sculptural monitors and mixing with soundscapes. Might not be the droids...

When I saw the word "droid," my inner Star Wars geek came out, thinking it would be some tribute to the robot-humanoids of movies. Alas, no, this DROID is but a multimedia exhibition showcasing video as art via projection, sculptural monitors and mixing with soundscapes. Might not be the droids we were looking for but we're definitely down. DROID opens Thursday at Artclub, 823 Exposition Park with a reception from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. catered by the always delicious Expo Park Café. For further information, call 214-827-0351.
Thu., Nov. 1, 6-10 p.m., 2007
