Post-Show Video from Lu Fang’s Show with Doublefish

Check out the good news:

Fort Mason show is up. We made it! Thank you for Eric Zhu (Double Fish) and Jon’s endeavor at installing the show. Without them I would not have done it. Thank you for Keldamuzik, Lingo and Eric’s performance. Before the performance, we have produced one hour live interviews with artists and viewers in the show: Keldamuzik as host, Ryota Mori as camera man, Dexter Reid as editor, Kavio as second camera man and Ling Hou as assistant. Dexter made to the show even he’s sick. I hope he feels better by now. In the beginning of the show, power for mine and the space next were out due to overusing electricity from one power source. All the TVs, projectors and speakers was dead for thirty minutes. People from Fort Mason management did not provide much help except suggested me to unplug other artists’ power. Luckily Cameron Hockenson pulled down another power outlet from the ceiling and separate the heavy usage of power. Thanks Cameron, life saver!

The video of the night is showing in Fort Mason right now. I am thinking to title the video “That is art!- Episode 9 of DivaTV”. Following clip is a video uploaded by Eric Zhu of his performance that night.

Flier of Deer Fang @ Fort Mason

Can’t believe that it’s graduation show already. This Friday from 6-9PM. Come out, of course it’s free entry for all. For my part of the show everything is going as planned now. The 8′x15′ cargo container that I am using as video projection room was delivered in Fort Mason last Saturday. During the show, besides all the video works I will be showing, DivaTV will also produce an episode of the show during the opening. From 8-8:30, Kelda and Zhu Jianhui will perform live in the container.

After some last running for equipments and material, I will be start installing from Wednesday to Thursday. Again, this is Vernissage, Master of Fine Art graduate exhibition of San Francisco Art Institute.
