Hybrids combed North America for statling fusions of art and life; innovative combines of trance-rant, rap-philosophy and pseudo-science. International Performance Video Art, co-sponsored by Pleaure Dome, presentd three vieo programs that consider the phenimneono of artists performing for the camera, geaturing work from Britain, the USA and Canada. Performances for an Orange and Violet room presented six very different performances negociating, interpreting and manipulating a common environment, one dominated by the dynamics of two opposing colours. PO-PO, a Samhain in the Wasteland featured performances by various artists in a decaying building. The viewer holistically involved in the experience of the work and the space. The intent was to expand the scope of performance art by exposing it to an uninitiated audience and to bridge the gap between pop and high culture.
