By Way of Inertia was written and produced between 2023 & 2024. Staged and recorded at Open Signal in Portland OR. The piece is a time capsule that starts in the 1990's at the SW 10th and Oak building where Word Virus Books currently calls home. The piece burbles through time connecting Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bernoulli”s principle for fluid dynamics, and Zine making all in a coming of age via Robert Ashley Opera kind of telling.
It is with great pleasure that we debut this video work in thee very building much of the piece takes place in.
