I did a solo a/v set at the opening of
SOLSTICE, an exhibition of light art works at Flux Factory, organized
and curated by
Jonathan Sims. The opening took place on the night of the winter solstice,
and the opening was marked by 4 a/v performances by me,
Testu Collective,
ÉMU (Maria Takeuchi), and
Night Shining. The performances and installations of light works
complemented each other amazingly and I was thrilled to be a
part of it all.

I am very excited to share this album I made with
Andrei Jay, titled: APPALACHIAN VORTEX TOUR. Near the end of
summer, we went on a camping road trip through the Appalachians
in search of caves, hollows, and other basins of vortex energy
in the forest. I brought my field recorder and my shortwave
radio, and Andrei brought two Volca FM synthesizers, and we
recorded a series of jams at various locations along the way. We
were able to pick up electromagnetic interference within the
shortwave bands from the built-in amplifier circuits in the
Volcas, making the radio act as a kind of extra amplifier which
added unique distortions and textures.
The sounds of the environment also became part of the
recordings, so you can hear crickets, running water, wind, other
humans, natural reverb of stone and metal, and the spatialized
presence of the built-in speakers of the volcas, intertwined
with signals drifting in and out from shortwave broadcasts.
The album art, a map of the vortexes we toured, was drawn
electronically and then plotted with a robotic drawing machine
in the expanded media department at Alfred University.

On June 1, we held the third edition of Télépresence at La
Lumière's collective space in Montreal. It was so lovely to hang
with my fellow video artists, and to perform as 1/2 of
Fugitive Dream Recovery
during the evening's a/v show. Here are some photos from
people's setups during the tabling portion, as well as the
performances.
