Description Highlights from EAST & Austin
Event

You had to take a number to see The Museum of Human Achievement’s one-viewer-at-a-time, super-exclusive show. Fortunately, the waiting room was geared towards entertainment, with videos, zine vending machines, and video games provided by Ghosting.tv, Juegos Rancheros, and the Austin Museum of Digital Art. We idly played an arcade game called CRAP! No One Loves Me, in which your in-game avatar is rejected at a bar, loaded into a coffin, and catapulted down a half-pipe causeway... Estonian collective Non Grata performed in the parking lot of the Canopy complex. This performance was better than their recent show at Notsuoh and featured more spectacle: some of the performers stomped around inside a giant cage! You can watch a few excerpts from the performance above. The best thing about it was that the performers dived enthusiastically and without irony into their roles, right down to the guy who was slathered in mud, covered in bubbles, and lit on fire.
