Projection surface @ #dadaLab is 4 screens wide: 2 at back, 2 on sides. For my collab w/ #ShahrzadTalebi I created maps that fill ⅛, ⅕, ¼, ⅓, ½, multiples thereof, & full screen.

First viewing in situ; needs tweaks before rehearsals & Sat premiere but pleased.

I find myself having to switch git branches between pieces during a performance. Conceptually it's equivalent to retuning or fitting a capo to a guitar but the consequences when it's done wrong are far more catastrophic.

After speaking to geography classes at Penn State today I'll present A Synesthete's Atlas tonight at Manny's Performance Space.

This'll likely be the only #ASynesthetesAtlas performance in San Francisco proper this year.

A Synesthete's Atlas: Cartographic Improvisations by Eric Theise An evening of cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated, digital maps in dialogue with composed and improvised soundtracks.

2nd/4 local shows: Sat 26 Jul, #CenterForNewMusic. 1½ blocks from Powell Muni/BART, Tenderloin.

#ASynesthetesAtlas is usually 1 long, structured, collaborative improv but this'll be shorter compositions, solo (maybe a guest or two), + an invented instrument.

I’m uncomfortable stretching the truth. Wrote my bio to say “North American performances” but usually change it to the more accurate “US” before posting.

No longer.

Scoped out #TallerSociedad today, where #FernandoFeria & I’ll perform #ASynesthetesAtlas, Th 6 Feb. 1st of 2 #Guadalajara/#GDL shows!

Loved the #ASynesthetesAtlas clips of the talk. Do your current european tour happens to pass through Spain somewhere?

I'll exhibit the screenprinted maps from my AGA LAB residency alongside works by fellow AiRs Clara Arámburo & Nina Djekić this Th, 17-19:00.

Eion Carey only works @ AGA LAB Fr & Sa so I asked for early critique; his feedback was invaluable.
First I've seen the baker's dozen +1 maps I screenprinted together: pleased. So many hours materials shopping, ink mixing, & dropping f-bombs at the press.

A Synesthete's Atlas: Real Time Cartography in Performance | Cartographic Perspectives

Nick Bauch invited me to write about my performance cartography practice for Cartographic Perspectives, the @nacis.bsky.social journal, & my article's been published, open access, alongside a range of other map-related articles in issue 103.

"State of the Map" is @openstreetmap.bsky.social's franchise for annual conferences. They exist by continent/region & I travelled to Salt Lake City last month to talk about my practice at State of the Map US; recording now up on YouTube.
