Program sequences run in a constant loop around our scheduled live events.

Previous sequences are available via the ON-DEMAND feature.

Selections may include:

Interstitial Manifesto (In Progress)

Our interstitial arts manifesto, a forever-in-progress video manifesto that is an attempt to define a space that can never be fully defined, but perhaps at best may be rumored to exist.  

Interstitial Festival

Audio-visual pieces and excerpts of live events from our first quadrennial (international | independent | interstitial) festival, 2/29/08-3/2/08

We created this festival because we believe that the evolution of art and cinema depends on interstitial works, pieces operating in between and outside of archaic genres, categories and formulas.

The next i^3 festival will take place every leap-year in our space in Chicago. It includes work from all over the globe in the form of experimental short film, digital video, performance art, process art, installations, multi-media, hypermedia, intermedia, and especially everything in between. Submissions will be open again soon! Don't hesitate to send us your work in the meantime.

B-17: A Mini Epic (Episodes)
(The Wacky Adventures of a 17-Year-Old Sex Slave!)

Sarah and Yumi are top-secret sex slaves for a high-ranking government official. They spend their days in a bizarre play-pen/torture chamber/ slave-labor station, where they produce pro-war polo shirts by hand and live in constant fear.

Yumi, having lived in the cell the longest, is almost completely brainwashed and paralyzed, but Sarah still possesses enough spunk to try to escape. Her impulsive scheme is thwarted by a few terrifying obstacles... will Sarah's inner courage be enough to save the day?

"Greater Than Less Than: Level 2" (Episodes)
(A Petrol-Fueled Neo-Depression Era Musical)

Dolly is THE MA$TER and will stop at nothing to maintain her status. However, her biggest competitor has, over time, become her secret lover, protégé and most precious slave. Tonight (like many nights before) the two have a private appointment in Dolly's covert lair, but each suspects that something is about to change forever. Does Dolly's beloved plaything have something up her sleeve? Or is it the other way around?
A rhythmic and glittering tale of money, power and perhaps... love.
