Description:

Let's Make A Monster! was a multimedia performance by Perry Hoberman. Seated with a laptop and media equipment, Hoberman collated and recombined fragments from sci-fi movies, television, and texts—interspersed with a live video feed and narration—into new narratives. The multichannel projection critiqued the boundaries and blurs between science and fiction.

The performance concluded with a question and answer session. 

Video documentation available upon request.
