This revolution will be televised! Peter Burr is a “DIY Underground” cartoonist and musician. The Portland-raised video and performance artist plies his trade tonight at the Museum of the Moving Image with Special Effect, a live “television show from the future” inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 Russian film Stalker. The production, a recent smash hit in Australia, features screenings of 20 short (roughly 30-second) animations from underground video label Cartune Xprez, original experimental music from Lucky Dragons and Seabat and a live performance by Burr, replete with laser beams, green screens and a hacked Kinect camera.
