The Comet and the Glacier is a video opera and immersive installation by artist Alexis Gideon. Originally trained as a musician and composer, Gideon is best known for his animated live video operas and related multidisciplinary artworks. A multi-media work combining music, video, performance, animation, clay reliefs, and paintings on glass. The show is accompanied by a publication specially designed by the artist, featuring hand-written lyrics layered over stills from the films and three contextualizing essays.
Alexis Gideon (b. 1980, NYC) trained as a composer and performer under the mentorship of jazz legend Anthony Braxton, and graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in Musical Composition and Performance in 2003. Gideon considers music the backbone, and inspiration, for all his work.
