SUMMARY:Discotrope: The Secret Nightlife of Solar Cells at HM157
DESCRIPTION:http://discotrope.org\n \nDo solar cells have a nightlife
 ? According to Amy Alexander and Annina Rüst, solar cells aren’t ju
 st for making green energy anymore. On Saturday, June 16, solar-powere
 d nightlife comes to Lincoln Heights, where HM157 will host Alexander 
 and Rüst’s “Discotrope: The secret nightlife of solar cells” - 
 an audiovisual performance that resembles a nightclub light show. \n\
 n \n\n At the heart of the show is the Discotrope, a disco ball where
  mirrors have been replaced with solar cells. (Discotrope’s low-tech
  gadgetry is reminiscent of early motion picture technologies like the
  zoetrope, after which it is named.) When Alexander and Rüst project 
 videos of dancers onto the Discotrope, the cells produce electricity, 
 causing the ball to rotate at varying speeds. But the cells do more th
 an just power the ball - they also reflect the videos projected onto t
 hem. The reflections form a kaleidoscopic, rotating circular projectio
 n that encompasses walls and large screens around the space - as well 
 as whatever people, trees, furniture or other objects lie in its path.
  The Lincoln Heights show will take place in the outdoor courtyard of 
 HM157, a Victorian-era mansion that’s become a popular venue for alt
 ernative art and music events.   Discotrope’s projected visuals depi
 ct the history of “people dancing at cameras\" - from Hollywood to Y
 ouTube. Audiences can dance with the \"stars\" or just chill out and e
 njoy solar cinema under the moon. \n \nDiscotrope will also be perfor
 ming at the opening reception for Hollywood Fringe on 6/13.  More info
