FOSSIL FOOLS PROJECTS
---------------------------------------------
-----------------------
Slow Voltage
-----------------------
A portable solar-powered video installation by Tom Hansell. This installation
demonstrates alternative energy while presenting documentary film, photography,
and sculpture about energy policy. Slow Voltage is an ideal conversation
starter with which communities can begin to imagine a future beyond fossil
fuels.
-------------------------
Energy Wars
-------------------------
A sound installation by Brian Harnetty that is an audio collage
of non-renewable and sustainable energy sources.
This work uses generators,
solar panels, turntables, electronics, and both found and live sounds.
-------------------------
Oh, Petroleum
-------------------------
A performance by petroleum pop princess Kristin Baumlier
and the Crude Oil Dancers about the past, present and future of petroleum.
There
are oil theme songs, stretchable props, and dance moves in the show. All of
the dancers wear plastic (petroleum-based) outfits.
Music and songs written and performed by Kristen Baumlier.
The current show incorporates animations done by Amanda Almon and costumes
made by Jessica Laskosky.
---------------------------------
Energy Dance Party
---------------------------------
A natural culmination of the previous works, the Energy Dance Party will
mix sampled video clips that show the process of turning oil, coal, uranium,
and other natural resources into energy. Video loop sources include: moving
petroleum oil projections, lightbulbs, prehistoric plants, and other footage
shot by the artists. Brian Harnetty will provide additional beat-centered audio
tracks mixed with a variety of dance music.
(Tom Hansell (DJ Crawduck) and Kristen Baumlier (DJ Porridge). ALSO:
Guest DJs or musicians at some events.)
-------------------
Info Circus
-------------------
Fossil Fools works to raise questions about energy issues.
Info Circus is a informational area for solutions and ideas about energy.
Chuck, the rv is sometimes setup with Fossil Fools activites, and information
about energy.
-------------------
Other works
-------------------
In June 2006, Fossil Fools had a solo exhibition of installation and visual
works.
This 3000 square feet show featured new stretchable graphpic and toybox pieces
by Kristen Baumlier, soundworks by Brian Harnetty,
photos and electrical drawings by Tom Hansell,
and paintings and sculptures by Nathaniel Parsons.
