In the Mediadrome: Event of the Century

It was part dance party, part rock show, and part midterm.

The Mediadrome was an immersive live art show constructed and curated by students in Carleton College's CAMS site-specific media course. The 'dome' was engineered by Mary Begley ('14), Woody Kaine ('14), and Haley Ryan ('15). Inside the bulging plastic housed four amazing music acts - Prom Queef, Max Thunderdome, Ashantology, and djbritheartbeats, who played music in 45 degree weather to stunning and overstimulating visuals that covered three-fourths of the dome. Kaine controlled visuals via electronic drum kit that splashed color over the dome. Kaine, in combination, with Max Thunderdome invited the audience to tilt their heads back and revel in the madness that was the dome. The night continued with live hip-hop band, Ashantology featuring visuals from Schuyler Sher ('15) that tripped the audience out in a way that contrasted to smooth sounds of Ashanti Soldier ('15). Prom Queef annihilated the drome crowd with improv visuals from Ryan. Lastly, djbritheartbeats invited the crowd to dance the night away while staring in awe at the visuals done by Andrew Cely ('15).

Despite collapses, a Cowling dance, and high winds that turned our dome into the house straight from UP, The Mediadrome was a night to remember -- full of PBR, colors, and music.
