C.L.U.E. (color location ultimate experience), Part I is a collaborative video and performance work by artists A.L. Steiner and robbinschilds, with AJ Blandford and Seattlebased band Kinski. robbinschilds (Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs) and A.L. Steiner present a fullspectrum video, set to a score by rock quartet Kinski. In particular, the dynamic movements of people in multicolored costumes—the colors change every second as they move—draw our eyes. Each sequence features robbinschilds in monochromatic gear, acting in psychedelic contrast and communion with their surroundings. The artists traverse a desolate desert, seaside, darkened parking lots, and an urban junkyard as they fall, run fiercely, walk, or jump. In a style that is obsessive, persistent, and often humorous, robbinschilds reveal their observations of the human imprint on the world.
