Kerry Laitala looks to the heavens for inspiration for her latest trichotomous tri-projector triumph, the Astro Trilogy. She unveils the cosmic patterns we've envisaged our mythologies into, simulates the spectacles with which we've dared to decorate Uranus's cloak, and summons the goddess of endless night to bring us into ecstatic realms with pulsations of luteal lubriciousness.
This triptych was first detonated in current form near the Trinity test site in New Mexico, with live accompaniment from none other than the wonderful Wobbly, who reprises his digital/optical sound manipulation while Laitala implements interstellar interventions.
