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.
