I performed an experimental A/V set as sleepwalks, as
well as providing visuals for the rest of the acts, at this show
at Trans-Pecos in Brooklyn. It was fun to collaborate with some
touring artists from Minneapolis, and the collaborative set by
Machine Girl and Bonnie Baxter (of Kill Alters) had people
dancing so hard I felt as though the floor might collapse. For
me, this show was a way to say goodbye to Brooklyn, as I
prepared to move upstate for grad school.

On July 27th, I performed an experimental audio-visual set as
sleepwalks at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn. The show was
organized by
euglossine, an experimental musician from Gainesville, Florida. I enjoyed
setting up a cave-like spatialized projection environment and
filling it with warm synth sounds and evolving video textures.

My work is included in this exhibition at the Kirchner Cultural
Centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which opened on May 4. The
show features six female experimental audiovisual artists from
different countries, including Blanca Rego (Spain), Modular
Dreams (Brazil), Sol del Río (Argentina), AGF poemproducer
(Germany), Sabrina Ratté (Canada), VJ Um Amel (Egypt), and
myself (United States). It was curated by Milena Pafundi.
Here is a rough translation of the description (originally in
Spanish):
Visibility is a disruptive sample because it brings together
the power of women's work in the field of audiovisual
experimentation. It is about artists that are also the
representation of many others that are out there producing and
simply can not be seen, because we still have to deconstruct
prejudices around minority women / trans / non-binary in
relation to technology, art, and their presence in formal
spaces: the works of women usually take place only on the
internet.

On Saturday, April 21, I performed video for a
concert
at a church in Brooklyn, NY featuring ambient electronic music
sets by Malcolm Cecil (formerly of TONTO's Expanding Head Band)
and Steve Moore (of Zombi). I output two channels of live analog
video, which corresponded to layers of projection mapping in the
architectural environment. I loved helping to create such an
immersive and transportive audiovisual experience, and I hope to
incorporate projection mapping in future performances. Many
thanks to
Ambient Church
for inviting me.

On Saturday, April 7, I organized the second edition of
Télépresence, a yearly conference of analog video
artists and evening of audio visual performance. I also
performed as 1/2 of Fugitive Dream Recovery, a
collaborative side project. We held a tabling session for
artists to show the methods and devices they use to manipulate
video signals, then hosted an evening of a/v performances.
It was amazing to hang with artists and engineers from all
across the U.S. and Canada, and very rewarding to get the chance
to help facilitate creative cross-pollination around the medium
of video. Many thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.
