Karaoke Deathmatch 100
MTAA are funny…
Artist collaborative M.River & T.Whid face off in the most brutal performance art smack down of the new millennium… Karaoke Deathmatch 100! This alcohol-fueled blood feud features 50 rounds of sing-along fury (taped live over an 8-hour period with hardly any pee breaks). No Carpenters hit too cheesy, no heavy metal lyric too trite for these teleprompter warriors to hurl in a battle to the end. Who will emerge victorious? Only YOU can decide.

13 April 2007 6pm: MACHFELDÂ – Performance: VED vs JOBURG
This evening will consist of visual contributions in the form of text, image, video, and animation collages that will be transformed and subverted as they are fed through Machfeld’s interactive analogue performance in collaboration with The Trinity Session.
M18J92T aka MT from mtkidu will be mixing live recordings made by Machfeld and students from CityVarsity and Wits School of Arts as an experimental precursor to mtkidu’s “a set, in abstraction” on the 21 April.
OPEN Video Environment Destroyer Session: Bring your own video, images and animation footage on DVD.
MACHFELD (Michael Mastrototaro & Sabine Maier) was founded 1999 in Vienna. Based on the identically named cyber-novel , they developed an art-label with the focal points: web-art, short- and experimental films, streaming-projects, interactive installations as well as works for the public space. Their projects, exhibitions and installations / screenings have been shown in Europe, Central-America and in the USA. http://www.machfeld.net/
