LIVE RESPONSIVE VISUALS Johans Sumari—award-winning visual artist recognized by MIT Reality Hack and the Runway AI Film Festival. — The Backyard is what happens when ordinary suburban objects are given a little too much attention. A grill transmits from somewhere it shouldn’t. Lawn furniture adjusts the atmosphere. A garden gnome has developed an interior life. Throughout the space, sound, projection, light, and screens respond to what people do. For one night, CUL-DE-SAC 404 is rebuilding The Backyard inside Recording Club: interactive sculpture, peculiar rooms, responsive audiovisual systems, and DJs from doors until close. Part exhibition, part party, part neighborhood malfunction. There is no correct route or puzzle to complete. Wander, dance, experience. Some things answer immediately. Some don’t answer at all. You are not expected to find everything. INSIDE · Interactive objects from The Backyard · Responsive sound, projection, light, and screens · Rooms shaped by memory, interference, and re-rendered space · Music includes: hypnotic electro, downtempo, ambient and more! · Hidden responses and small disturbances Arrival windows: 7:00–8:00 / 8:00–9:00 / 9:00–9:30 PM Last entry 9:30 PM · Rideshare highly recommended. CUL-DE-SAC 404 is a Los Angeles based art collective building immersive worlds that multiply curiosity and optimism.
