Join us at one of Chicago¹s hottest spots for an evening of music, visuals, and fun as we kick off the 20th edition of Onion City in style. Sneaks of some of the work in the festival and other visual delights will be running through out the night and the music will be jumping.

At 10:30, Milwaukee-based film and video maker Brent Coughenour will perform The Indomitable Human Spirit, a live audio-visual performance for thumb piano, video game controller and computer. Incorporating a broad array of audio and video analysis and synthesis strategies, the piece creates a hinted and tenuous relationship between sounds and images, between abstract and concrete, between performance gesture and software response.

$4.00 Svedka cocktail drink special courtesy of Sonotheque.

Admission is free (but a $5.00 suggested donation is appreciated). Cash bar.
You must be 21 to attend.
