About Gridlords:
Gridlords
is a narrative arts and performance-based monthly live experience. Its
roots are in Portland’s underground and art comics community, starting
in April 2012 at the Waypost. With a strong love of interdisciplinary
performance and storytelling, and a desire to marry sound and vision in
new ways, Gridlords inventor Sean Christensen felt a void of a live
experience in the world he knew was possible. He felt its echoes from
fragments in memories and saw its potential in his future. Gridlords
wishes to be the lectures of Lynda Barry as an explosive inspirational
devotional performance piece or the performance pieces of Laurie
Anderson as a universe! The world has become used to facing a device
that is feeding you animated images and audio messages while your friend
is virtually talking to you and your other friend is talking to you in
person while facing their own device with a whole other set of stimuli.
Gridlords is the stimulus presented all at once for a unified audience
with an attention span. Gridlords wants you, the audience, to feel a
part of something.
