About the artists:
C.G. RYAN is a media artist and scenic designer who creates playful, surreal imagery that she mixes in real time with live music to create vistas of inner and outer space, layering tangibility with the imaginary. She holds an MFA in Visual Arts: New Media from CCAD, and collaborates with musicians and directors to create transportive, immersive experiences for audiences at live events and in theatrical productions. For this performance, C.G. is collaborating with sound artist Ben New in a new work titled "NOW WHAT" exploring internal and external mixed messages.
Krista Faist will be performing this evening with musician Alex Burgoyne. VR/AI/moving image artist Krista's physical work is largely comprised of watercolor crayon and reductive wax paintings on decorative plate glass, as well as intricate sculptures made from found objects and junk store items. With both mediums, she has sought to represent aesthetic over-stimulation that leads to expansiveness of imagination and wonder, much like that experienced in childhood when one visits a candy shop. As a child, she had a strong desire to see all colors and textures at once, including colors never seen before. With each project, she sets out to re-capture this feeling of simulated desire and satisfaction. She believes that this desire to satiate our hunger for wonderment with consumerist impulses is innately human, and her aim is to bring this incongruence to light via her immersive, audio reactive, and VR works.
As individual artists and a collaborative team, Nikki and Matt Swift have been creating various audio visual artworks for over 20 years. Their work ranges from the personal experimental documentary to highly structuralist exploratory workflows that break the very tools used to make their creations. More recent works have focused on the political, including the history of democracy and communication, the exploitation of the environment, and human memory versus technological recordings. This performance will include some of these themes pairing the two artists together to create an ephemeral unique live performance containing audio and visuals produced from various sources combining the analog and the digital.
