Radar Twelve - Bambi Killers
Meghan, Dawn & Tanya are the Bambi Killers, a genre-defying creative troupe that meld performance art, music, role play, costume design, audio soundscapes and circus freakery into a series of short live acts that deal with themes as wide-ranging as alien invasion, conspiracy theories, government brainwashing and the representation of women in movies. Inspired by Japanese girl gangs, The Switchblade Sisters, Grindhouse, and the Valley of the Dolls, they perform at punk gigs, dive bars and theaters to shocked silence and instant word of mouth. Just wait for the inevitable movie, comic, clothing line, range of dolls... Oh, and the spaceship.

Radar Thirteen - Undetermined Measurements
Ten people dressed in stark white "clean suits" and masks disperse amongst picnickers, inspecting the ground in sunny Central Park. Heads turn, unsure, and people start asking questions. Undetermined Measurements is an ongoing performance and documentation project. During each phase of the interventionist series volunteers gather, dress in protective clothes and silently engage with the audience in a non-confrontational manner. Why are they there? The question is left open ended, expressing the ever-changing perception that the United States has transformed from a unique symbol of freedom to a more fragile and fearful representation of uncertainty. We follow Sean Hovendick and his team as he takes Undetermined Measurements to NYC for the first time.

Radar Six - Cut & Paste
Design has not normally been thought of as a performance art, but Cut & Paste are looking to change that. For the last two years John Fiorelli and his team have been traveling the globe, taking the concept of live digital design to more and more communities. Now, in 16 cities across the world, designers compete onstage in a battle for supremacy and the chance to win the global championships. In a series of quickfire rounds they create original works from scratch, and are judged by a jury of esteemed peers from agencies and brands. We follow Ryan Kennedy (Designer, Deep Focus) as he prepares to partake in the NYC tournament, and talk to John about why he constructed a place for designers to create in public.

Just In Case
JUST IN CASE is a short animated film about the dangers of laziness. The consequences of a sedentary philosophy are depicted in vivid colors. Even if we can’t prove that global destruction is around the corner, we might as well do our best to prevent it, just in case. The voices for the characters are graciously and deftly provided by Sutton Foster and Fred Applegate – stars of the new Broadway musical of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. The film was created through a collage of 3D animation with guache paintings and pages from The New York Times.

Radar Fourteen: Honey, I Shrunk Red Hook
When curator Laura Arena approached MIT’s Luis Blackaller & Andy Cavatorta, her brief was simple: create something that initiates interaction between the inhabitants of the neighborhood. From the Portuguese fisherman to the Projects, to the artists and hipsters, to a new influx of people, Lucky Gallery sits at the crux of several different communities, none of whom talk, but acknowledge each other as familiar strangers. Luis and Andy’s response was to build a miniature version of Red Hook and populate it with photographic doll versions of people they met and talked to on the street. We join Luis and Andy as they prepare for the opening and watch as the element of play in a virtual world impacts communication in the real one.

Radar Eight - Dr Sketchys
Four years ago, as a broke art school drop-out Molly Crabapple set up Dr Sketchys, the anti-art school, as a social gathering in Brooklyn. Now a sought after fine artist, comics creator and illustrator in her own right, Dr Sketchy's has spread to over 80 cities and has grown from an event, to a movement. Weekly, droves of artists and amateurs alike swarm to these experiences internationally to draw glamorous underground personalities from burlesque dancers to fetish models to drag queens. We talk to Molly about what makes Dr Sketchy's unique and how she controls the creative vision from above.

Radar Four - Universal Record Database
What do 'Most money destroyed for profit', the 'Longest shhh' and 'Most flaxseed cracker people created in one minute' have in common? They are all records held on Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson’s Universal Record Database, otherwise known as the 'definitive site for human achievement'. The founders take us through the thinking behind their project, while Zoomdoggle's Jake Bronstein waxes lyrical on the joy of inventing new categories, Emmy award winning writer/director Todd Lamb explains his obsession with fish sandwiches and photographer Emily Wilson breaks a new record live.

Broken Rose Portal
“Broken Rose Portal,” raw, wordless and other-worldly, is a deeply visceral abstract dance film about re-routed reality. Aimed to express the point when “what we think we know” is broken, our personal security undermined or we wake up to an altered reality whatever it may be, whether trite or tragic. Quite literally, “Broken Rose Portal,” manifests in vacuous white space, the visual field split by large moving invisible mirrors. Vast space, disorienting images and intense musical score take the viewer away from the mental and into the belly of this very elusive yet real place in the human spirit.

Radar Ten - Newmindspace
Kevin Bracken is a modern day Peter Pan. From his Bushwick warehouse -the appropriately named Refuge- he works with teams of volunteers to create and stage free, fun, participatory events across America that enable strangers to interact publicly in a natural carefree way, uninhibited by monetary transactions. These events also allow the participants to reclaim public spaces; a must Kevin insists for responsible citizens, in order to challenge permit driven culture. The creator of International pillow fight day -a simultaneous experience ideated to prove the global strength of the 'urban playground movement'- all events are born from childhood games: multiplied, and staged in concrete plazas. We follow Kevin and his team as they prepare and launch Lightsaber Battle NYC, to much surprise and glee in Washington Square park.
