    GOCA (Gallery of Contemporary Art at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs) and TIE (The International Experimental Cinema Exposition) are proud to present a series of lectures and films based on the art of displaced cinema. Both the program and the project value the importance and effect of space, while also challenging the traditional expectations of what an exhibition site can be.

    Displacement: Cinema Out of Site is comprised of:
    Special Film Presentation
    -and-
    Lecture Series: Part One - Part Two - Part Three

    On August 9th, the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado presents Dan Macini and Rachel Cole, who will be discussing the Tetris Effect and on-site distraction. As a recurring practice, parkour takes root in the mind. An apposite analogy is the Tetris Effect, wherein after extended bouts of Tetris, people consistently report seeing the entire world, buildings and cars, as tetrominoic pieces to be fit together. Similarly, through the proclivity of parkour, walls and railings that traditionally herd people around become open ended, a canvas on which to apply new physical rules. This phenomenon exemplifies the neuroplasticity of the human brain, by which parkour literally amends a tracer's perception of physical spaces, and even abstract ideas.
