Osmotic Imagination is a merger of visual stimuli and sonic alchemy. It attempts to contextualize contemporary culture to that of the past not by treating these images ‘unaltered in stoic preservation’ but to mutate historical documents and imagine a new life and future between people/places/time/thought of a past generation that have been fermented in ’standard TIME MAGAZINE ideology’ that has not created a progression to betterment, but an end point.

Matthew Mottel, a native New Yorker, was influenced by many cultural ideas and people to shape his present. He has discovered that his father, Syeus Mottel, a photographer and theater director, documented many of the people that would have strong cultural value for his son. Syeus Mottel, a journalistic photographer, has one of the great underpublished narratives of cultural and political history of the late 1960’s – 70’s. His son has focused on his archive to create a contemporary ‘cinema of images’ that presents this photographic record not just as ‘pictures on a wall’ but in an environmental ‘dream state’ that hallucinates visual photographic interaction between Martin Luther King, Jr., Silver Apples, John Cage, Ornette Coleman, journalistic photography at political rallies of the late 60’s/70’s, and iconic landscapes of America such as Big Sur, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and NYC.

Matthew Mottel is an internationally recognized musician and artist, performing most notably with Talibam! for the past seven years. He's been hanging around NYC clubs since he was like 16, and dropping electric mind bombs with his synthesizer in those clubs nearly as long with folks like Cooper-Moore, Rhys Chatham, Karole Armitage, Awesome Color, Akron/Family, Jeffrey Lewis, Chris Corsano, CSC Funk Band, and many others.
