Birthed at Burning Man 1997, F-SPACE is an extreme experimental pyro-industrial art-punk rock project by Mobilization.com founders Scot Jenerik (23five.org) and Ethan Port (Savage Republic).
"A runaway locomotive, combining sweeping sonic guitar sound scapes with Scot Jenerik's thunderous pyro-metalic, often fire belching instruments, and ferocious drums. The result conjures up an apocalyptic, feral, destructive trance state implying a catastrophic act of nature, a march through the desert on the path to war, or an offender's mental state during a crime of passion."
F-SPACE takes it's name from the performance space used by extreme physical performance artist Chris Burden in the 1970s. The epic F-SPACE piece "Through The Night Softly" is titled after one of Chris Burden's performances where "Holding my hands behind my back, I crawled through 50 feet of broken glass. There were very few spectators, most of them passersby."
The current project "Bleeding Rays of Dawn" is based abstractly on the writings of Cormac McCarthy.
We are a fiercely DIY effort, interested in collaborating with like minded artists. Mobilization is also always looking for volunteers to help with our events.
