MTMI Lab

Brooklyn Fire Proof, New York

Mirror Transmission and Moving Images (MTMI) Lab

Brooklyn Fire Proof is pleased to announce the first On-Site Residency Program with audio/visual collaborative pair King/Diaz de Leo'n.

Jay King and Mario Diaz de Leo'n present MTMI Lab, an environment functioning as a combination film set and workshop that experiments with expansions of research trials created for the practical application of psychokinesis and targeted remote viewing. Remote viewing is a person's ability to project conscious observation to sense what is located at a distant point in space.

By combining elements of Ganzfeld sensory immersion with exercises like those developed at the Stanford Research Institute, MTMI Lab seeks to enlist willing viewers as test subjects in hybrid protocols containing the most statistically significant elements accessible to the public. An open goal of conducting this activity is to use documentation of successful trials to subtly help transfer perception and use of the field toward open communication rather than corporate and government espionage.

The residency will conclude with a performance, featuring video created from on-site documentation as well as live musicians. In aestheticising the footage with regard to formal approaches of projecting in time and space, differing sound-image relationships will be employed to help make extrasensory image transmission a more tangible experience, at times creating its own sensory homogenized field, or "Ganzfeld."

The artists are seeking willing test subjects to participate in the MTMI Lab. Each testing period requires approximately one hour and is done with test subjects in pairs (individuals can be matched up). Those interested can contact the artists directly to make an appointment or to visit during non-gallery hours at kingdiazdeleon@ikatmethod.com.

King/Diaz de Leo'n have been collaborating on music since 1994 and on multimedia projects since 2000. Their work was recently featured in PS1's Greater New York 2005, Museo Reina Sofia's Musica-Video-Musica, and will be in the upcoming exhibition, Globos Sondas, at Museo de Arte Contempora'neo de Castilla (MUSAC) in Leo'n, Spain.

Audio Speakers for MTMI Lab provided by V-Sonic Systems and Roulette. Additional musicians for the performances are Woody Sullender and Kenta Nagai.
