A personal invite from Resident Artist Tim Tsang :
Dear friends,
I am excited to invite you to Garden Party with Spatial Audio, happening on February 2, 2021 at 12-5pm PST. This party will be happening entirely online, on a platform called High Fidelity. Go climb a tree, meet a friend by the swimming pool, jump in on all sorts of wholesome gossip, or simply stumble upon 8 brilliant and indescribable performers as you virtually traverse this unique and inviting space. Come and go as you please, no questions asked. Treat it like a party in “real life” :)
If you’d like to get familiar with High Fidelity beforehand, you are more than welcome to try it out for yourself here. Our February 2nd Garden Party will happen here between 12-5pm PST - just plug in some headphones, press play, and follow the instructions on your computer screen.
You will have an option to use your real name or a fictitious one, as well as the option to offer a profile picture of yourself, which will serve as your moving avatar for people to recognize you as during the party. This can also be changed throughout your stay at the party. However you’d like to be known at this party is totally fine and totally up to you. Please come by and say hi! :) I, Tim Tsang, as the host of the party, may be found in this space on 2/2 as “Tim Tsang”, with this following profile picture:

Mitch Toy & Doug F. Honey (12pm+)*

**SOMEBODY ELSES IDEA OF SOMEBODY ELSES WORLD IS NOT MY IDEA OF THINGS AS THEY ARE, SOMEBODY ELSES IDEA OF THINGS TO COME NEED NOT BE THE ONLY WAY. ---Nefer a'Re
***NOTICE / DISCLAIMER***
During our previous event on Jan 27 (Green Boxes with Friends: A basic Zoom call for 5 hours where everyone has the same green background), we unexpectedly experienced some Zoom bombers who disrupted our session in what we believe to be bad faith. While this garden party has only been publicized through our email list and personal invites, there may still be a slight chance of contact with random people throughout the internet sending out uncensored and uncontrollable content (obscenities, offensive language and worldviews, etc). It is not an objective of this open party to attract these voices, and the host cannot prevent them from entering. We do, however have controls to remove any participants, and will take necessary actions should they be required.
Having said that, in the rare case that you (especially the performers) do experience any sort of abuse or unsafe/malicious behaviors from any of the participants, please report it to the host (Tim Tsang) immediately, and we will take immediate action. Performers, if for whatever reason you wish to stop performing due to anything that occurs in the environment, you have full permission to do so, no questions asked.

Looking forward to seeing/hearing you there! :)

Tim Tsang is a trans-disciplinary artist engaged in infinite play as an accumulative performance strategy. Tsang scripts friendly spaces—theoretical, physical—that invite perplexity and warmth, and serve as repositories for critical thinking, contemplation and escapism in the contexts of exhibitions, academic conferences, events, games and concerts. Often through over-identification and over-exposure toward the social, these spaces activate poetic explorations, re-framings, reflections and expansions of interactive creative processes.
