BRATTLEBORO — Epsilon Spires, the nonprofit organization charged with breathing new life into Brattleboro's Baptist Church on Main Street, will debut its fall season with Victoria Keddie's Electrona in Crystallo Fluenti on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m.
Keddie, of New York City, works in varying media, exploring electromagnetic systems, media ecologies, and “the machinic body,” according to a news release.
Crystallo Fluenti's composition is created as Keddie tracks the properties of orbital debris passing overhead. Much of this debris comes from rocket stages, defunct satellites, and past object-to-object collisions.
In Crystallo Fluenti, signal interactions with these objects are synchronized in real-time, expressed by sound and projected image.
According to the news release, “Keddie seeks to explore the very nature of communication through contact with these byproducts of man's existence.”
Electrona in Crystallo Fluenti is the first of a series of events and performances planned for the church's sanctuary and the new community space, “Social Engagement,” over the next several months.
Epsilon Spires invites the community to meet Keddie on Sept. 6 and have a first glimpse of the evolution occurring at the brick church at 190 Main St.
