CULTURE CATCH Artists Salon
In Association with DOUBLE VISION
Presented by Absolut, Crumpler, Gibson, JBL, Podango, Ultimate Ears, and Ursaminor

RED INK STUDIOS, 1035 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
January 9-11, 2007 (Video Highlights from CC Salon)

Culture Catch will transform the Red Ink Gallery into a 5,000-square-foot multi-media cultural experience complete with five computer video projections, interactive sound and light installations, an amazing gallery installation from Inflatable Arts, choreographed drink servers, and art curated by DOUBLE VISION and Culture Catch. In addition, each evening will feature audio and video podcast interviews by Dusty Wright of CultureCatch.com, performances from some of the smartest artists, dancers, musicians, and performers on the West Coast, and other culturally hip happenings.

A blimp will circle the ceiling of the venue, capturing footage of the event and attendees. This footage will be relayed back to a sponsor area, where it will be projected. We will also create an interactive “Absolut Absolutes” video installation each night. Attendees will input their absolutes into the user-friendly interface and at 7 PM each night, these absolute terms will be projected, along with a googlebot slideshow of Absolut bottles, labels and images. DOUBLE VISION dancers’ performances will incorporate serving of complimentary cocktails each night. And you can repent nightly to Emily (Sex With Emily podcaster) in our Absolute Confessional.

Each night we will be giving many cool gifts from Crumpler Bags, Final Draft, Gibson, JBL, Ultimate Ears headphones, and more.

For your all-access laminate you must either RSVP or locate one of the DOUBLE VISION dancers on the Expo floor.

peace,

Dusty & Richard
