Official Tourist
Using blue screens, found video footage, homemade masks, and electronic music that picks up hitchhiking beats and rhythms from around the planet, Official Tourist are our local guides to the international audio-visual mashup. Traveling in both space and sound, these artistic gypsies jumble frantic, bite-sized song samples while sequestered in the back rooms of the galleries in which they perform, projecting acid-trip images on televisions while their worldly dancefloor jams keep the party stoked. The collective includes creative refugees from Bosnia, Munich, Sarajevo, and Mexico, and its live shows stamp passports from San Francisco to outer space.
