Daystar by Various Artists
Obsolete Media Miami (O.M.M.) launches Document series, an open archive collaboration with engaging and challenging artists working in South Florida and abroad. Document offers the O.M.M. studio as a resource for creative collaboration. A core mission of Obsolete Media Miami (O.M.M.) is to create engaged methods of archive activation through collaboration.
Document 001: audio visual cassette collage pairs Miami based musician David Brieske and visual artist Richard Vergez. Brieske works with a curious audio cassette recording of an imaginative and anonymous young man describing the sunrise on the first day of summer circa 1987. In tandem, Vergez repurposes a collection of old astronomy magazines and found 35mm slides to create O.M.M. studio's first invitational, Daystar.
Support for OBSOLETE MEDIA MIAMI (O.M.M.) is provided by Cannonball through its WaveMaker Grants program, which is part of the Andy Warhol Foundation’s Regional Regranting Program. WaveMaker Grants is supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Obsolete Media Miami is a 2015 Knight Arts Challenge recipient and an artist run studio and archive.
David Brieske is a sound and visual artist. Working under the moniker Fsik Huvnx, he performs and records using various instruments, field recordings, and effects with a focus on creating a visual experience through sound.
Richard Vergez’s background in audio/visual collaboration is reflected through his hand-made collaged works on paper, audio tape loops and mixed media, using imagery which combines both human and technological elements in surreal environments.
