If I may build on the "For those of you in the Bay Area", the performances
currently scheduled are:

- a collaboration with techno DJ Sean Ocean as part of Other Cinema's
Optronica <http://www.othercinema.com/calendar/> program this Saturday (2
Mar) in San Francisco's Mission District. Guaranteed to be a lively evening.

- a collaboration with Unpopular Electronics (Gino Robair & Tom Djll) as
part of the West Oakland Sound Series <http://sfsound.org/series/#2024.3.3>
this Sunday (3 Mar) at the Paul Dresher Ensemble Studio this Sunday. We're
paired with a hard-to-categorize set of vocal works (John Cage, Morton
Feldman, Henri Pousseur, Elliott Carter, troubadours, trouveres &
minnesingers) that'll be performed by Ann Callaway (who I don't know) and
Richard Mix (who is remarkable).

- much yet TBD for the 54th Salon at The MilkBar <https://milkbar.org/> in
Richmond, CA, the evening of 5 Apr.

I have hours of documentation footage to edit but you're welcome to view
some early tests of my Salesforce Tower project in this Vimeo showcase
<https://vimeo.com/showcase/10862581>. I'll continue to upload edited final
versions there. An article about artists Jim Campbell & Emma Strebel,
<https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/san-francisco-salesforce-tower-art-installation-18682884.php>
who run the Tower project, appeared on SFGate yesterday.

I am hoping to perform for the first time in the Pacific Northwest (NACIS
if not sooner), Southern California, & Salt Lake City (State of the Map)
this year, and to return to the Midwest & East Coast in the autumn. I don't
wish to spam MAPS-L with details of each as they emerge but my
(underused) mailing
list <https://erictheise.com/mailing-list/> & Instagram feed
<https://www.instagram.com/erictheise/> are the best ways to stay informed
about these projects.

Thank you!

Eric
