On April 20th, we had a community screening to celebrate the 1
year anniversary of the founding of
scanlines.xyz!
Last year, I teamed up with
Andrei Jay,
Cyberboy666, and
Olivia Jack
to create a new forum to discuss diy video and audio projects.
Over the past year, the community has evolved, and we now
maintain a chat platform, a custom livestreaming service, and a
peertube video hosting setup, all on our own infrastructure. I
really value having this community around experimental video art
that's outside of the advertising-ridden hellscape of corporate
social media.

On Saturday, March 27, I did a livestreamed performance for the
2021 edition of the
Ann Arbor Film Festival. Several fellow
Signal Culture
community members were also featured this year, including
Kit Young,
Scott Kiernan, and
Jason Bernagozzi.
The Ann Arbor Film Festival is the oldest avant-garde and
experimental film festival in North America, founded by George
Manupelli in 1963. Internationally recognized as a premiere
forum for independent filmmakers and artists, each year's
festival engages audiences with remarkable cinematic
experiences. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with
more than 180 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and
genres, including experimental, animation, documentary,
fiction, and performance-based works.

On Sunday, March 14, I performed at Testu Collective's ChaShaMa
residency space in the Brooklyn Navy Yards. I performed a solo
a/v set and then participated in our group jam session at the
end. It was very nice to be able to collaborate with other
artists in my local community, and we look forward to organizing
more public events once that becomes possible.

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.
