Ian Lara is really just a regular guy from Queens, New York. He started Comedy right after college because he didn’t feel like going to Law School and he’s loved every second of it. Usually you can catch him performing every night in some of the best and worse shows in New York City, or he’s on the road at a club or college near you.

Electo Electro 2020 is an interactive installation combining audience participation, music, news footage, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies, debates, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop.

The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station. There will be an artist talk at 6:00 followed by a Max MSP Jitter workshop at 7:30 pm.
