TIA MAK
(2007, 17 minutes)

TIA MAK is a VJ performance that remixes the classic documentary NANOOK OF THE NORTH into an avant-garde, pre-apocalyptic rock and roll show.

It’s different every time. Like a live music performance, there is a set list and a general blueprint for what will happen. But the specifics… shot choice, rhythm, and pacing change as the performer gets a feel for the venue and how the audience is feeling.

TIA MAK has been performed in many different kinds of settings; from film festivals where the audience sits and watches as if it were chamber music, to outdoor venues where beer flows freely.
