This is a reinterpretation of the binary imagery and audio track engraved on The Golden Record: two identical 12” gold-plated records which are affixed to the Voyager I and II spacecraft.

David Reinfurt will discuss this and other mystical mathematics via a short overhead projector lecture. ERNEST HEMINGWAY & LEANNE SHAPTON Audio: In the 1950’s, A.E. Hotchner met up with Ernest Hemingway in Cuba, and recorded this synopsis of a story, In Harry’s Bar in Venice, onto an old Webster wire recorder. It is one of the few rare recordings of Hemingway’s voice. Visual: In 2008, Departures Magazine sent Leanne Shapton to Venice, Italy to make drawings of famous writers’ haunts in the city. Included are the hangouts of Lord Byron, Henry James, Daphne du Maurier, Ernest Hemingway, John Ruskin, Ezra Pound, George Sand, Mark Twain, Thomas Mann, and Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. This is a sneak preview of the drawings. (They have not yet been published.) CORIN HEWITT Corin will provide us with a package for unwrapping. The inside and the outside will join as we follow its unveiling. We will need an audience volunteer for this one. ANDREW LAMPERT Melinda Shopsin presents Andrew Lampert in the latter’s absence, a short subject or two taken from life projected in slow motion with sound separate. ADAM STERNBERGH Adam will improvise a short story based on a photograph he sees for the first time in his life. HARRELL FLETCHER Beau Travail (excerpt), by Claire Denis, 1999. Jason, I’d like you to show the final scene in Claire Denis’ film Beau Travail. It’s my favorite dance in a film. On a side note, I saw Denis Lavant (the actor doing the dancing) walking down a street in Paris once, but he was sort of dressed like a homeless person, which a friend of mine there said is how he always dresses, I guess to avoid drawing attention. I wanted to tell him how much I liked his dance, but I didn’t since I’m sure he hears that sort of thing all the time, though you never know maybe he was having a moment of doubt and would have appreciated the encouragement.
