Presented as a slideshow, this book-release celebration of Street Art
San Francisco: Mission Muralismo, proudly represents the very Mission we
inhabit— politically and culturally. Edited by Annice Jacoby, with a
foreword by Carlos Santana, the photo book is a testimony to the
district as a laboratory of cultural activism—dressed and addressed by
the neighborhood as a public art site. This comprehensive volume honors
decades of sacred and profane urban iconography, showcasing the work of
artists from Spain Rodriguez to Shepard Fairey, Twist to Aaron Noble,
Rigo to Sara Thustra, Swoon to Susan Cervantes. Welcomed with free wine,
an ambient DJ and a recent doc on street art, many of the featured
artists will be on hand to talk about their work.

BENT NOT BROKEN: THE END OF THE ANALOG
Tonight's program turns on the uses and abuses of electronic games,
gadgets, and gizmos. Headlining this experimental lab is the East Bay
A/V crew Killer Banshee, with A Wake for Analog, a live performance
reckoning with the ghosts in the machine. ALSO in person is David Cox
with his illustrated history of video games, a fascinating overview of
the amazing changes in this modern genre. Following is a sampling of
Machinima, that even newer practice in which video games are hacked to
tell new stories. PLUS The premiere of Carl Diehl's Patrolling the
Ether, Cyrus Tabar's Tunnel Vision installation, circuit-bending shorts,
and a goofy introduction to Negativland's Booper. Come early for
Bassline Baseline, Nate Harrison's history of the Roland TB 303.
