Art Jones performs with Michael Galbincea and Christine Hart as ITEL: a live audio/visual collage incorporating multi-source video scratching & mixing and experimental hip-hop heavy beats. The performance will revolve around the concept of the battle in both the literal (i.e. war) and metaphorical (i.e. MCs and DJs) expressed visually and sonically.

The first set(with Art Jones and Michael Galbincea on seperate videomixers taking signals from video cd players, vcrs, and hard drives) will combine live-action footage with animated and comic book figures who will battle each other using text as well as action. The music ITEL will be battling to and with will be performed by Christine Hart on turntable, hard drive, microphone, and mini-disc player.

After the first set Harry Allen will host a discussion and Q & A with ITEL and the audience. The second set will see
the artists switch roles and mix it up.
