ad infinitum (Fuck John J Clark)

Zekarias Musele Thompson

This SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11th from 4 to 6 pm,

is the last chance to see Zekarias Musele Thompson’s solo presentation, "ad infinitum (Fuck John J Clark)," one half of their presentation in "Collapsense."at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies at 1750 Arch St in Berkeley.


Come think about what happens when we “manifest destiny.”
---
ad infinitum is a multimedia installation exploring intimate relationships between large and small scale hierarchies, ecological understandings, and mis-appropriations through the projection of the human image upon the landscape of the “Far West.” In ad infinitum multi-channel sound, photography, painting, and video engage the possibilities of ecstatic resonance and integration, amongst remnants of the colonial logic inherent in the former “American frontier,” and across two locations on the UC Berkeley campus as a part of the 2024 first year MFA exhibition, Collapsense.



At CNMAT, ad infinitum (Fuck John J Clark) explores how the racialized and gendered identity of the ‘White Male’ projects itself onto the environment. Field recordings and photographs encourage the viewer through distortions of signification, as well as through themes of surveillance, generational inheritance, and ecological and historical inter-connectivity.
