Almond in Bridgehampton continues its “Artists & Writers” series, on Tuesday, December 6, at 7 PM featuring LoVid (Talin Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus).
LoVid’s interdisciplinary works explore the often invisible or intangible aspects of contemporary society, such as communication systems and biological signals. They are particularly interested in the ways technology seeps into the evolution of human culture.
Their practice includes performances, participatory public art, handmade technologies, textiles, prints, App-art, experimental video, and immersive installations. They focus on the juxtaposition of media with physical objects, geographic spaces, and the human touch. They are interested in bridging between handmade engineering and traditional art or craft forms by using a DIY philosophy and aesthetic. This allows them to reflect on the role of handmade production and the physical gesture of art making in a time increasingly dominated by machines and virtual experiences.
As a complementary part of their practice, they also apply machine-based and digital fabrication techniques that highlight their view of the critical importance of human/machine interaction in the digital age. Their diverse practice invokes processes and ideas from art, science, and technology, to question perceptions of time, place, and the self in the networked era.
Cost is $59 and includes a three-course family style meal and one glass of wine or draft beer. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the restaurant directly at 631-537-5665.
