Tunnel Vision

For the next installment of the Cypress Village Tunnel Art Walk, VCR Vintage/Contemporary/Reconstructed Founder, Nereida J Villarreal and Shar Sten of We Open Art Houses - WOAH team up with Antigua Coffee House to present TUNNEL VISION, a one-night audiovisual event set within and inspired by the underground. Set-up along the overground periphery and below within a former pedestrian passageway in Cypress Park, TUNNEL VISION aims to be a temporary portal inducing expanded states of perception. Just as tunnels serve as convenient conduits for transit and telecommunication, we seek to create a space for communion and transcendence. Pooling tastes for audiovisual elements typically limited to LA’s ‘undergrounds,’ TUNNEL VISION bridges hyphenated-genre-eluding music, interactive light optics, and the in-between, to deliver a hypnotic experience of sight and sound, space and perception. //SOUNDS// Josh Anzano >>https://soundcloud.com/josh-anzano Crowhurst >>http://crowhurst.bandcamp.com Leslie Dugger >>https://soundcloud.com/lesliedugger Josh Garza (drummer of Secret Machines & Electric Flower) >>http://electricflowergroup.com Thomas K >>http://associationofmasks.com Nu Speed >>https://soundcloud.com/vitus Mor Elian >>https://soundcloud.com/morelian //SIGHTS// @Mapjacks Mapjacks - Projection Mapping Crew >>http://projectionmappingcrew.com >>Akiko Yamashita >>Evan Weitzberg >>Alex Benzer >>Shelley Holcomb >>Ryan P.
