The Portland Experimental Film Festival is an experiment started by Matt McCormick. It has been through a few reincarnations with new organizers. That's all good, and we are looking forward to this year's event.
The festival spans Wednesday May 28-Sunday June 1 with sit down showings, artful installations at Disjecta + live music, participatory workshops, family-friendly programs, a window installation on Alberta and after parties.
An always fun element of the festival is the bracketed throwdown, film on film, competitions, audience-judged, by you!
I'll not repeat the schedule available on the website. http://effportland.com/?p=801#install
Admissions are extremely reasonable and some events are free.
The Portland Experimental Film Festival. Various locations. Free and $5-$7ish for sit down films.

May 28-29 Thinking About Security and Internet Society
Most of us use computers and the Internet most of the time. The architecture of the Internet was developed in the late 1960's by Larry Roberts. One of the profound principles of the Internet is that all the brains of the Internet reside in your laptop or phone and in the servers at Netflix, Google, the BBC. The role of Comcast, Century Link and the companies that run fiber optic cables across the world are to passively transport packets unchanged between for a fee. The end nodes are smart and the network is a passive carrier.
That is the bedrock principle of Network Neutrality.
That also means that your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop; and the servers, are each smart enough to become infected with malware, or for the owner to install malware with intent.
One of the Internet's big thinkers on malware, hackers and bots is cryptographer Bruce Schneier.
Today he spans philosophical and political questions of privacy and policy. He is a good source to track as we are on the way to connect every thing to the Internet, memed as the "Internet of Things" or the "Internet of Everything". Combined with ubiquitous facial recognition, governing policies for the Internet are something every world citizen should be thinking about.
In a talk, "Internet, Security, and Power." Schneier creates a non-technical framework for citizens to consider how we keep ourselves out of a dystopian totalitarian future - the one we all know is coming and can visualize based on film and fiction.
Bruce Schneier speaks Wednesday at UO Eugene in the EMU Ballroom - live streamed at media.uoregon.edu/channel/2014/05/15/kritikos-lecture-by-bruce-schneier/ and at UO Portland Thursday. Details http://ohc.uoregon.edu/S_2014-Schneier.html Event may be available after the event on UO video site. Suggest arrive early. 7:30 Free

Accompanies work of graduate Bethany McCamish. At the Marylhurst University www.marylhurst.edu/theartgym/ Map 6PM-8 Free

May 27 Curious Recess
The Curiosity Club presents Nial McGaughey building Hovercraft Amplifiers. These are guitar and bass amp heads, often made with recycled and modified old amps. Hovercraft sometimes produces speaker cabinets to match. They are powered with vacuum tubes and they are loud! Vacuum tubes are an obsolete technology that many love. They have individualistic distortion when pushed, including that produced by magnetic non-linearity, and many people like that sound. A presentation of the Curiosity Club, you can tune into the free live webcast off the Core77 site or visit the talk and demonstration in person at Hand Eye Supply www.handeyesupply.com/pages/curiosity-club 23 NW 4th 6PM Free

May 23-25 Thesis PNCA
We list few academic shows, and fewer of students. Not all academic galleries are geographically convenient. But they are well worth the effort if you have the time. As my first art show to see in Portland was the PNCA thesis show; since I've enjoyed them.

Local artist Dan Attoe shows tonight at Fourteen30. His work includes ironic landscapes, figures and neon. He is founder of Paintallica. He makes his career almost entirely outside Portland, including in Europe; his landscapes are not Northwest regional, though others may disagree. Attoe is a great match for the gallery.

May 17 Effigy Video
Video art done well attracts us. It necessarily references our motion life and motion film-video experiences, while standing askance as art. That's a fine boundary line to navigate.
Video art goes through cycles of popularity in Portland. There has been excellent documentation of performance by MK Guth. Filmmakers Matt McCormick, Vanessa Renwick and others lay down the film art branch. MSHR does outstanding with digital organic performative installation. The UO White Box Gallery presents video regularly.
This afternoon is a talk by UCLA video artist Jennifer Steinkamp. She is known for one of the major branches of video art: installations that paint patterns, often from nature, on walls, floors and ceilings. It is beautiful work in the Hickey pattern.
Artist talk tickets https://pam.spotlightboxoffice.com/purchase/step4?ticketID=69998 At the Portland Art Museum www.pam.org 1219 SW Park
2PM Free to Museum members; $13, students, $15 adults, includes Museum admission
Grant Corum presents Effigy Mounds. Effigy mounds were ceremonial geoglyph mounds, sometimes for burial by ancient people found throughout the Americas. The artist transformed the inspiration of visiting effigy mounds in the Americas, and experiences with the Sundance Ceremony in the Midamerican forests and plains into the installation, and a musical project, Effigy Mounds: Ceremonial Music for Spore Alter.
Corum describes the music as: “An imagined field recording in a hallucinatory cave, where collaged snippets of tape reveal the gradual opening of a deep portal, the ingestion of strange and luminous compounds, and the rhythmic pulsation of spores entering Earth's atmosphere by way of shooting stars.” Music by Corum and White Gourd for the opening.

May 15 Unabridged Lilly Pad
Did you know Portland is ground zero for floating? Not little fluffy clouds floating; we are talking about floating in a sensory isolation tank. Be your own special lily pad.
Float tanks, sensory isolation tanks, are a shallow pool, eight to 10 inches deep, of purified salt water, heated to body temperature, in a very quiet space, to float peacefully.
The idea was created in 1954 for public health research by Harvard neuroscientist Dr. John C. Lilly. Portland's Float On has published a new unabridged edition of Dr. Lilly's classic book Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer.
I'm a scientist. We know much more about the brain now. But there is still excellent material in Lilly's book, and it is not necessary to go all new age to appreciate it. Float On celebrates the release of the new unabridged edition of the book tonight at the shop. At Float On 4530 SE Hawthorne 7PM-10 Free

May 13-14, 16-20 Impossible
Chemical photography is magic. Saving the old magic is impossible. But that is what the Impossible Project is attempting. They bought the original machinery for making instant film from Polaroid and have brought it back to life. One marketing effort is to travel the country in an Airstream trailer, also impossible magic made possible, demonstrating their film. They will be parked at Blue Moon May 13-14, Pro Photo May 16-17 and Urban Outfitters May 18-20. Photo booth and photo talk. Details //www.the-impossible-project.com/airstream/.
At Blue Moon Camera www.bluemooncamera.com 8417 N Lombard May 13-14 3PM-8. Contact other venues for times. Free

Same place same time, is the Siggraph 2013 animation compilation. Siggraph is an academic group that theorizes, writes software and makes graphics in computers. Their compilation is competitively drawn from animation artists and creators of new effects software each year. There is a fair criticism that storytelling is lacking in many films, especially CG films. As this is a showreel, there is no intent of narrative. More action eyecandy, much unfortunately in explosions, shooting chopping, monsters and spaceships.

May 8 Draw God
We take the controversial view that behavior is all and that belief is meaningless, except only in motivating good behavior. Others may differ. So God and spiritualism is a means not an end in our system. Nonetheless, how tribes process spiritual belief is a fine mine for ethnography. Taking the art pursuit of ethnography to heart, Xhurch invites artist and musician Emily Pothast to deliver her sermon. In a church. She presents How to Draw God from Direct Observation, a survey of historical visual representations of god. Recommended. At Xhurch 4550 NE 20th 7PM Free
