FAR (Foundation for Art Resources) presents SONOPTICON-99, a weekend of site-specific work by over 30 sound and light artists who experiment in the fields of music, installation art, and technology. Working collaboratively, or simultaneously, all light performances will be accompanied by live mixing and deejaying of pre-recorded sound.
Daytime programming will feature low impact studies in ambient sound and light, while night time programming will feature high impact spectacles of audio and visual explosions. SONOPTICON-99 will bring together an audience interested in architecture, theater design, film and music as well as visual arts. An array of artists both familiar and new to the improvisational form will participate. Admission is $ 3.00.

FAR was founded in 1977 to facilitate the production and presentation of work not supported by traditional galleries, museums, universities or other arts organizations. FAR remains committed to presenting art in all media and concepts that further an understanding of the relationship of art practice to history and social context, audience and critical theory.
SONOPTICON-99 is funded in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, The National Endowment for the Arts, and the California Arts Council.
