• DEFIBRILLATOR GALLERY (dfb) is a 501c3 arts organization that provides a place to conceive, promote, and present performance art and other ephemeral forms of expression. Dynamic programming, decidedly fearless and unique, is a priority at dfb. This is the primary venue for RAPID PULSE 13. www.DFBRL8R.org
• ELECTRODES are the front windows of Defibrillator Gallery used for durational work. www.electrodesdfb.info
• NIGHTINGALE is run by visionary Christy LeMaster who is a galvanizing force behind Chicago’s film and video community. www.nightingaletheatre.org
• HUB is a temporary space secured for RAPID PULSE to provide a gathering place for artists and a platform for exchange and discourse.
• PUBLIC – performances that occur in the public sphere, locations are planned / roaming / TBA and/or using social media (see Waffaa Bilal’s “TECHNOVIKING”)
