Bloopers #1
Michael Bell-Smith, Sara Magenheimer, + Ben Vida
DECEMBER 6, 2014
Bloopers #1 is the newest iteration of the performance-driven
collaboration by artists Michael Bell-Smith, Sara Magenheimer,
and Ben Vida. Using the language of “breakdowns,” or comedic
outtakes, the artists blend props, video, and electronic music to
play with the social power of different kinds of media.

Presenting a joyously subversive take on popular culture and
the social connections produced through sound and music,
Bloopers #1 takes the question “Why do we hate some objects
and love others?” as its starting point, and uses set pieces,
dance-pop, cinematic cliché, and live performance to
playfully tease the boundaries of language, crowds,
and the nature of things that draw them.
