are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.”

BRAINSTORM! with ERIC GAMALINDA





 Discover how poet, fiction writer, and playwright Eric Gamalinda developed and produced an interactive, multi-venue exhibit of QR codes as poems.







 Artist Eric Gamalinda used a combination of poems and QR codes to create “QRoems.” His recent exhibit Deep Splendor - featured in the Asian American Arts Alliance’s 2012 Locating the Sacred Festival - presented ten QRoems at different locations in the city. The exhibit was based on the ten chapters of The Way of the Bodhisattva, the 8th Century Buddhist text on how to live in harmony with the world. 

Join us as Eric presents his pieces and takes us behind the scenes with his thoughts on what inspired him to create this work, the process of developing it, and where it’s going next.

Six participants will be randomly selected to co-create a custom piece by you and Eric! QRoem your poem!

For a while there, Radiohead were starting to feel too comfortable in their success, and a little too complacent. Not Thom Yorke. Amok, the first CD release of his “alternate” band Atoms for Peace, is transcendent, unsettling, and beautiful—the perfect soundtrack of our now. We are falling off the cliff, our social ills are getting worse, we are elevated and degenerated by our machines. Amok understands, and lets us rage and grieve in peace.
