Corrective Spectacles is not a “short film” screening. We are not interested in imposing discrete boundaries onto our thoughts. For approximately one hour, the audience will be exposed to a barrage of sound and image experiments, presented in succession and intended to resonate as a grandiose composition. These video works will be linked, in both direct and scenic-route connections, by their fixation on the Spectacle. It is here, in the spaces that impress us and press themselves upon us, that we have set to work. We have dissected established spectacles and sculpted new spectacles where they did not previously exist. These spectacular corrections span the real and metaphorical world: literal corrections to lands and bodies (development and physical therapy) are sites of curiosity, along with psychosocial and metaphorical corrections (language and intuition).

Our tone is manifold. We are skeptical and motivational. Instructional and destructive. Mostly, we are simply attempting to be aware. We hope this introductory statement helps you decide how best to spend your Thursday evening.
