San Francisco's Dadafest 2002 was a blast. It took place at SomArts Gallery over two nights as it has for the last 3 years. [The first year, oh ye' curious reader, it took place over 3 nights at 848 Community Space so there! ]

I performed in the show for the 5th straight year. This year's performance I entitled Poont/CunterPoont it was a peculiarly Dada take on the tragedies of September 11. It featured myself playing a tricky trio of roles, each with a different color of tape over my mouth, whilst a pre-recorded audio track of me speaking, they sorta synched, which was sorta the point. You can maybe get an idea if you listen to the mp3s and look at the pictures.

The mikl-mp3s:

  1. Testing
  2. The Announcer's intro
  3. mikl-em speaks
  4. Sociological Comment

I made this audio collage mp3 to promote Sex and Death
(the twin themes of this year's fest).
