The Story Machine
Great images of the story machine as it was installed in the diamond polishing plant, along with some terrific photos of Ran Nahmias and the lovely Anna Wild as Laika : http://liorlerman.wordpress.com/laika-in-progress/laika-at-the-diamond-polishing-plant/
Laika – an upcoming performance in Bat Yam and a new video clip
Our next performance will be held on August 11th, in an old diamond polishing plant in Bat Yam, that has been un-used these past 20 years. I will be uploading images of the performance space tomorrow, but for now, here’s a new video clip we made of Laika’s previous performance in Yafo 23.
LAIKA IN PROGRESS
Hey everyone!
I’ve decided to revive and update this blog a bit. Last week we performed parts of the new chapter of “LAIKA – Eulogies and Prophecies” at the Yafo 23 gallery in Jerusalem, and I’d like to start sharing a few clips and images of the work as it progresses. It’s going to take me about a week to prepare everything. I’ve already put up a “Laika in Progress” page with a few images which you can peak at it through here: Laika in Progress
Also, the most excellent musician we’re working with, Ran Nahmias, has created this blog for our project. It’s got images, videos and sound clips. So here’s the link :

Happy new year!

Laika 1: Eulogies and prophecies
The is the first part in a series of works featuring the famous dog Laika who traveled to space on Sputnik 2 in 1957. The second part called “The Seance – The Medium is the Message” is currently in production, and will be out in March 2010. I’ll be writing about this project quite a bit, so I’ll just credit this quickly for now:
Created by Lior Lerman with Jonathan Shohet and Saray Levin, Tchelet Weisstub, Shahaf Bornstein, Jonathan Albalak, Michael Berkowitz and Ayelet Lerman.
