HOMEOSTASIS (LIVE PERFORMANCE 1978)
HOMEOSTASIS was a student theater performance at CalArts Theater Two. This tape is of a dress rehearsal, edited from the only footage (shot by Robert Grasmere). There were three live actors, two live actors (on audio), one 16mm film (rear projected), two slide-screens (rear projected), and two B&W video monitors. This was my first project at CalArts (reimbursed by the newly formed Interdisciplinary Committee).
