Trailer for full doc "Behind the Research: origins of fDj ȺƉǤ" (floppy Disk jockey Ⱥlix Ɖ-Ǥraph) filmed @ venue #20 on the AnyWhorl Else Around Chicago Tour - Moses Montefiore Schoolyard Synopsis: fDj ȺƉǤ (born Alexander DeGraaf) earned degrees from public research universities in Michigan and Illinois and quickly became researcher for multimedia performer Pastel Fractal collecting the mission statements of Chicagoans on floppy disks. fDj ȺƉǤ starred in the YouTube show 'Reseachin' with Alexander' then went rogue claiming to "serve the community" by performing the best components of Pastel Fractal without the bike trailer apparatus. "ȺƉǤ is strung out on data." -Pastel Fractal "ȺƉǤ is fixated on the branding and the conch logo." -Conch Shell Most gratitude to Peter Szabo and James Presley for their camerawork and support.

At Larry's Fishing Hole on the riverbank of the south branch of the Chicago River - venue #18 A.W.E.A.C.T., Pastel Fractal performs wonders with the mission statements of Chicagoans! This very unique venue features many signs, decorations, and characters regarding fishing and drinking. Thank you, James Presley, for your camera work.

Announcing the AnyWHORL Else Around Chicago Tour! Alexander DeGraaf has convinced Conch Shell and reluctant Pastel Fractal to go on tour together around Chicago by bicycle. To determine the performance locations, Alexander has overlaid a seashell spiral over a map of the city, and at every whorl, they will perform. The first performance will be at the furthest point in the city from my studio which is 138th Street and the Illinois/Indiana borderline, TODAY, Sunday April 29, 2018 at at 2pm! #bicycletour #publicspaceperformance #chicagopublicpsace #creativetools #creativespaces #toolsforcreativity #spacesforcreativity
