Machine Project

On Friday, May 23rd at 8pm, geographer and artist Trevor Paglen will be giving a talk on the network of hidden budgets, state secrets, covert military bases, and disappeared people that military and intelligence insiders call the “black world.” Surprisingly, these “black sites” and non-existent military installations have also given rise to an incredible catalog of black-ops iron-on membership patches that have to be seen to be believed. Trevor recently compiled these patches into a book called I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me, which can be seen (and may be for sale?) at the event.

Then come celebrate Memorial Day Weekend sci-fi style with a video installation by Daniel Martinico featuring a 15-minute remixed loop of a pivotal scene in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. Opening reception on Saturday, May 24th at 8pm.

Both FREE!
