Relief-O-Rama
With the shutdown of artistic venues in this time of Debbie downage, we are fueling the arts in social distance savvy ways! Beginning July 4th, you may dunk politicians and other surprises at our dunk tank (dunk a human-size Covid-19 virus!) from 11am-6pm on the 4th and every Saturday in July.
The Hangry Mart rooftop will be transformed into a stage with sea horses and Neptune (compliments of Props2c) for live music to prevail in a live-venue-allergic era of Covid-19. The rooftop music series is called Hardly Unlikely and features various bands all throughout July, sometimes during the week. Schedule of band performances to be posted below. If you're a band and would like to perform, send an email to Tanforanshell@gmail.com. (Only two slots remain avail for the 4th of July!) Inside the wash tunnel, Bubbletown Video Show will feature immersion experiences from global VR artists 24/7, all from the safe contact-less comfort of your car as it gets washed. VR content creators may inquire at: Tanforanshell@gmail.com. Artistic sculptures will also be revealed alongside our hip hop T-Rex dinosaur exhibit, including art funded by anonymous Republicans and on tour from Helsinki. Tanforan Shell & Carwash is a family run business that has sustained heavy losses for the last few months but is funding the logistics and hardware setup of these activities in order to support the arts and provide a venue for multifaceted art in this joy deficient time for the arts.
Tanforan Shell is a social impact business that donates 15% to Covid-19 response efforts, San Bruno schools, the arts, orphanages and other humanitarian projects. We have raised over $350K for social impact causes.
Disclaimer:
Artistic renditions of Political figures here do not necessarily represent the views of Tanforan Shell or its staff. All art beyond our hip hop dino was funded by Republicans who prefer to remain anonymous and are pieces on tour in collaboration with the Helsinki Museum Of Modern Art.
Note: Multiple Security cameras.

Timo Dufner is a musician, media artist and computer scientist. His work focuses on testing limits of hard- and software. In doing so, glitches are an unavoidable component he consciously puts up with. Characteristic features of his work also include direct interaction between sound and image and an exchange between audience and piece. All of his works are created real-time – in the very moment – and thus each performance is different. Real-time audio processing, machine learning and AI, live coding and numerous electronical instruments are being deployed.
