Appleton, Wisconsin
This 1-hour program features
videos by LU ART 240 Digital Processes students
accompanied by
improvisational performances by LU faculty: Jesse Dochnahl '06 (sax),
John T.
Gates (voice), Brian Pertl '86 (Tibetan horn & didgeridoo), John Shimon (guitar).
The
artists are responding to the seminal book, Wisconsin Death Trip (1973)
by
Michael
Lesy (American, b. 1945). WDT
juxtaposes archival photographs by
Charles
Van Schaik (made 1890-1910 in Black River
Falls, WI) with 19th-century stories
published
in the Badger
State Banner newspaper.
Lesy wrote in his introduction:
“It is as much an exercise of history as it is an experiment of alchemy.”
