About
The Psychasthenia Society presents satiric storytelling blended with remixed vintage movie stills, live video, and electronic music. Founded in 2003 by author and storyteller Jon Keith Brunelle, its other members are video artist Daniel Vatsky and deejay / composer Mad EP (Matthew Peters). For two years they mounted multimedia story programs in collaboration with renowned guest musicians at Brooklyn's Galapagos Art Space; other engagements include Monkey Town and P.S. 122. Their first theatrical production, The Nanolove Report, enjoyed a successful run at Collective: Unconscious Theatre in Manhattan.
The Psychasthenia Society is dedicated to the performance of political and cultural satire as digital spectacle.
Psychasthenia (sy-kas-theen-ya):
- A perceived confusion between self and surrounding space.
- A cultural condition of mass identification with images and technology.
- Waking up feeling like the unfortunate fellow you see here.
