A Night of Experimentalia featuring the films of Snakebeings and randomized installations by various underground artisics

A joint presentation by collective experimental group Art Rotunda, and junk factorial Pieplate Industries

THE TRONS
Robots.. yeah robots! And they play indie/garage in a sortof crossover of Zombies meets Stereolab. These four mechanical musicians play guitars, drums and keyboards like a normal human band, but they are made out of old mechanical junk and salvaged electronics. From small town NZ they've made a big impression on the net, toured Europe, and played dozens of NZ gigs and galleries. Combined with live visuals from cameras integrated into the instruments, shows are a totally unique and mesmerising experience.

SNAKEBEINGS
Emit Snake-Beings, who over several decades has travelled intensively in Spain, Holland, the Middle East, Mexico, America and Japan, is a New Zealand / British experimental filmmaker and musician who has produced over 40 independently released film soundtrack CDs and made a number of short experimental and narrative films in Spain, U.K. and New Zealand. After completing a joint degree in computer graphic design and film studies, Emit has recently moved towards ‘material’ animation employing puppetry and video stop motion combined with computer post-production.. His latest film project, in collaboration with http://www.obertfunciona.es , from Tarragona is called ‘Plastic’ and is based on a Petroleum Cult set in the near future in which Oil Relics are worshipped to a point of insanity.
