Beercan Firemissles, Fanwings and Wacked Out Tourists

On Wednesday, November 2, citizens of Fishbon Eventlab Nation were treated to a full evening of video madness, home-made Beercan Firemissles and a special screening of Ethan and Holly's horror filled Vacation Gone Wrong Travelogue. Beginning with Ethan's project for the Comtemporary Arts Forum Halloween blast, the piece featured a two projector set with synced images that told the story of two tourist caught in a web of ritual mayhem. Following the travelogue, Darren and Wesley collaborated on a video experiment with dual feedback and images projected on Japanese fan-like wings of iridescent fabric. In the climactic moment of the evening, Paul's Foster's Lager can Firemissle made it's maiden voyage. In a powerful lob, the open-ended device with flaming Tiki torch wick catapulted across the parking lot and rolled under a car 100 feet away. Fortunately the inventor was able to retrieve the vehicle before any harm was done.

DJ Tools Misused

On Wednesday, October 26, pirate commandos from the Fishbon Event Lab couldn't resist putting standard DJ items (bubble machine, smoke machine) to inappropriate use by forcing them through the tube of a flame belching fire snake. The triple threat Bubble-Smoke Fire Snake proved to be the perfect indoor conversation starter and personal companion. Operatives found that whenever the energy sagged a simple throw of the switch brought pulsing fire and smoke bubbles to lighten the mood for behavior modification the fun way. On Saturday, October 29, the snake made it's debut at the Night of the Living party at the 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. With the addition of a drum input device and fire dancer the snake delivered an even more raucous experience.
