NEW YORK  --  Analogous Projects is pleased to announce a new Analogous Project!  Epic Doom: Black Metal City is a generative sound- and video-installation illustrating societal ills as emergent phenomena.  Epic Doom will debut as a work-in-progress at the 2009 Play With Fire Festival on November 15th.

Epic Doom utilizes the familiar and extreme black-metal aesthetic to allude to modern society's shared sense of panic.  This immersive installation processes the physical actions of visitors and passersby and re-presents those actions in real time, providing illustrations of human agency and diffusion of responsibility. 

Epic Doom: Black Metal City will debut as a work-in-progress at the Play With Fire Festival Closing Party, taking place at 1717 Troutman Street in Queens.  Video performances will begin at 4:00 p.m. on November 15, 2009.  (Visit the festival site for event information and performance times.)

Admission will be free and open to the public.
