My piece, Magnetic Field Recordings, was screened in a
room curated by
Testu Collective
within the Common Multiverse Initiative, a
volunteer-run online event hosted by
Currents.fm
involving a constellation of artists around the world.
Testu Collective are an intermedia art collective that
creates experimental videos, concept soundtracks, and
audiovisual installations/performances. Testu Collective's
curated A/V Room in COMMON MULTIVERSE INITIATIVE focuses on
diversity of sonic and visual artists and a mix of analog and
digital techniques. The audience is taken on a sonic adventure
from lush field recordings to modular synth electro-scapes to
brutal ambient. Visuals range from video feedback manipulation
to otherworldly audio-reactive designs created in
TouchDesigner to sci-fi landscapes created by cymatics. Their
room featured performances by ÉMU + Insomniac Hotel, Im_pakt,
The Josh Craig, Fernando Molina, Paloma Kop, Toru Izumida,
Testu Collective, Chaka Benson, ACE + Detroit Bureau of
Sound.

My online MFA thesis exhibition,
SPACE(TIME) THRESHOLDS, virtually opened on Sunday, December 13. This body of work
was created during my studies in Electronic Integrated Arts at
Alfred University from 2018-2020.
I also released the accompanying book,
From Material Space(time) into Electronic
Space(time), which serves as my written thesis and a window into my
process. Printed books are available to order, and the digital
PDF is linked as well.
I performed a livestreamed a/v set to celebrate and bring in a
realtime component. It incorporated video and sound elements
from the exhibition, manipulated and remixed live.

I performed an a/v set with an 8 foot weather balloon for the
opening of Edge of Light, an exhibition curated by
Jonathan Sims for HoloCenter. The opening performances were
curated by Testu Collective. The opening took place on December
3 and our performances were streamed online.
This was my first time incorporating this large spherical
balloon into a live performance with analog video synthesis. I
found that I was able to create a variety of weather patterns,
as one might see on the surface of a gas giant planet.

On Sunday, November 15, I performed a collaborative a/v set with
Andrei Jay, which was livestreamed as part of Vidicon. This year
was the second edition of Vidicon, and due to the pandemic, it
took place entirely online, with performances by many wonderful
video artists and friends. The set I played with Andrei was
enjoyably eccentric. My favorite part was performing on musical
saw while video of me was being processed through a slit scan
frame buffer. We had a lot of fun! Additionally, the
scanlines.xyz
team and I were able to contribute to the festival's video
streaming and chat infrastructure, to help create an online
venue independent from major social media sites and platforms.
