FEED.art launches a community-focused cafe filling the niche of an alcohol-free, after-work hangout space. cafeGIANT offers a small storefront stage, a stool, a spotlight, and 15-minute signup slots to singers, storytellers, and other artists to perform to a local house—and global livestream audience. The glass facade tiny cafe allows acoustic sets to be seen and heard from State Street; a webcam lets the world enjoy the shows. Behind the little window where guests order drinks, cafeGIANT opens up to reveal a grand space with 30’ high ceilings and art shows blending digital and traditional art, and equipment and staging for multi-media artists to produce performances.
Minerva’s Teas is tickled to unveil her newest blend at FEED Media Arts Center made just for this Valentine’s Day. Flir-Tea: a cup of sass right in your hands. This bold new blend is subtly sweet with just enough spice to keep things interesting. Have a cup of this hotness while you wander through the exhibits and show. Bags of your favorites will also be available for purchase.
Along cafeGIANT’s east wall, Pulp! Video Lab has installed The Hideout, an overgrown rec room entertainment center with dozens of TVs framing the stage. Here, VJs come from across the States to mix visuals for The FEED Sessions.
Created by Pulp! Video Lab and directed and live mixed by Betty Sweaters, The FEED Sessions is a live performance series that celebrates visual creators. The show’s unique format flips the script on traditional music performance shows by putting the VJ front and center, having the music serve as the backdrop to the visuals rather than the visuals as the backdrop to the music. (a.k.a. “Boiler Room” for VJs”)
Pulp! Video Lab is a multimedia art company and VJ collective that specializes in retro, analog video technology and its integration into contemporary video art culture. Known for their innovativeapproach to stage design, video production, and installation art, Pulp! blends vintage technology with modern tools to create immersive, one-of-a-kind visual experiences.
