Glenn McKay: Altered States 1966-1999. DVD (2005). Glenn McKay's light art will mesmerize you with brilliant colors and music from four decades on this new DVD release. In four movements, the Altered States dvd starts with vintage rock from Jefferson Airplane (Plastic Fantastic Lover, Volunteers), set to McKay's early 60's pulsating sensory overload style. The 70's evolve into a tweaky sound track by Knox Bronson, electronic culture mastermind, with scenes from McKay's world travels in a highly abstracted form. The 80's movement travels into pure geometric and color abstractions, with an uplifting electronic/acoustic soundtrack by Dean Evenson. McKay’s 90's movement goes deep into fantastic liquid color landscapes with a dark, electronic music voyage crafted in collaboration with McKay by Greg Jalbert. This DVD captures McKay's main installation exhibit (a 4 decade retrospective of video and slides) at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1999: “... brings the viewer into a strange and beautiful environment fusing light and sound to create a new experience.” (Robert Riley, SFMOMA Curator of Media Arts). Contains additional 60's film footage by Scott Bartlett and Jerry Slick. DVD, ntsc, TRT: 64 mins.

Private home use only $39.95 (no educational/institutional rights)
