Chaircuts


One of the many super cool people I met in Miami was Nelson Loskamp. He is an artist who also happens to be a hairdresser. He does a piece of performance art he calls electric chaircut wherein he binds a volunteer to a chair, covers his or her eyes and mouth with tape, and cuts the person's hair using scissors that are mic'd for sound and the sound is amplified through speakers strapped to Nelson's waist and back. He's very charismatic and charming and apparently people will stand in long lines to have their hair cut by him. It makes for excellent sound art. You can watch a video of his performance at www.chaircut.com.
