Join us on Friday, May 30th for our fifth event of season 10 in San Francisco!

This month, we will hear from marcella faustini, DJ Meisner, and our very own Brian Bartz.

marcella faustini is from brazil and now lives in san francisco. she is, when possible, a cultural instigator of many varieties. through her work as an artistic director in local galleries and as an independent curator, she has collaborated with a variety of visual artists, writers and musicians. she is the co-founder of cloaca projects which she started in collaboration with artist charlie leese.

DJ Meisner is an artist making mixed media work about conspiracy theories, spiritual experience, and being online. They work with the mediums of photography, painting, drawing, and sculpture. They are also a frequent contributor and active member to the publishing platform Do Not Research. Over the past few years, they have made work about Point Reyes National Seashore, Lab Leak conspiracy theories, and Project Stargate, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s project studying astral projection and out of body experience.

Brian Bartz is an interdisciplinary sculptor and educator living and working in Berkeley, CA. Through his work, he seeks to defamiliarize our relationship with technology, often by making electronic sculptures with functions that are speculative, useless, poetic, or simply for their own sake. More recently, he has been particularly captivated by the aesthetics of communication technologies such as radio and satellites, and the ways they interact across landscape and place. Some of the research interests which animate his work include depictions of terraforming in science fiction, the present day effects of cold war militarization, and, more recently, the relationship between technology, mysticism, and the cosmos.
