DON’T MISS Friday’s opening for a chance to pose for a 3D photo booth to create your own animated looping portrait. Spots are limited, arrive early to sign up!

FLOW STATES will showcase the concepts and techniques behind non-linear animation as a medium for exploring states that exist between artist and muse, self and other, past and present, man and woman, humans and technology, etc. Expect to be disoriented, inspired, and entertained!

Artist’s Bio

ERMA FIEND is a director of surreal animation with real people, sentient objects, and tactile environments. Using a range of clay, putty, and slime in silicone molds cast from his face and body, Fiend's stop motion techniques capture the realistic likeness of the human form to create a uniquely uncanny feeling of aliveness. Fiend is known for documenting his gender transition over the years in hundreds of Escheresque stop motion self portrait loops, which play like Möbius strips in GIF form.
