B̶I̶O̶:̶ ̶T̶a̶n̶n̶e̶r̶ ̶M̶e̶n̶a̶r̶d̶: A vessel for consciousness, carrying sound, vision, and breath as living currents of presence. Here in relation, a transparent ray of lineage, flowing beyond self. THIS open pathway for imaginal becoming—beyond name, beyond nation—with what is shared, resonant, alive. The living path.
Tanner Menard is a multifaceted artist – a poet, composer, and Kundalini Yoga instructor. He is the visionary behind UBU Yogic Tech, an innovative online coaching platform that collaborates with artists to bolster creativity and further human evolution. With a prolific output, Tanner has released eleven albums of experimental music, a chapbook, and is on the verge of unveiling his contrapuntal visual and sound poetry project, ‘the poet’, under the banner of Post Asemic Press and Full Spectrum Records.
Currently pursuing a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Tanner is also deeply immersed in the realm of cultural futurity. As a former tribal council member for the Atakapa Ishak Nation, he has actively contributed to language restoration initiatives and remains a custodian of traditional teachings. His academic pursuits aim to bridge the wisdom of ancient sentience and relationality with contemporary philosophical discourses. Self-identifying as a futurist and radical syncretist, Tanner is profoundly committed to a life of post-polarity-unity.

As a transmission and sound artist, Martín Rodríguez’s work emerges from his Xicanx upbringing along the Arizona-Mexico border. He employs performance, intervention, and installation as a process for deciphering aural histories and entangled identities.
After recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor, a chance encounter with a radio transmission caught in the pickup coils of his guitar reoriented Rodríguez. Developing his practice from crisis, he examines radio as a transformative medium. Rooting his relationship with radio in healing, his artworks consider transmission as a material through which sound intertwines with affect, acting as a vessel for ulterior forms of communication.
Elements of care and speculative thinking create rhizomes throughout his artwork. Utilizing these broader methods, Rodriguez approaches his work from the Xicanx concept of rasquachismo; this methodology utilizes pragmatic ways of remaking and hacking material and objects to reimagine their function. This is a process born from adapting, merging, and creating something practical and new from scarcity.
Notably, his work has been presented by the Musée d’art contemporain Montréal (CA), Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MX), Darling Foundry (CA), Walking Festival for Sound (UK/PL), Spektrum (DE), as well as various festivals and performance venues across Canada, and the US.

B̶I̶O̶:̶ ̶T̶a̶n̶n̶e̶r̶ ̶M̶e̶n̶a̶r̶d̶ : Un vaisseau de conscience, transportant le son, la vision et le souffle comme des courants vivants de présence. Ici, en relation, un rayon transparent de lignée, coulant au-delà de soi. CETTE voie ouverte vers le devenir imaginaire — au-delà du nom, au-delà de la nation — avec ce qui est partagé, résonnant, vivant. Le chemin de la vie.
Tanner Menard est un artiste aux multiples facettes : poète, compositeur et professeur de Kundalini Yoga. Il est le visionnaire à l'origine d'UBU Yogic Tech, une plateforme de coaching en ligne innovante qui collabore avec des artistes afin de stimuler la créativité et de favoriser l'évolution humaine. Avec une production prolifique, Tanner a sorti onze albums de musique expérimentale, un recueil de poèmes, et s'apprête à dévoiler son projet de poésie visuelle et sonore contrapuntique, « the poet », sous la bannière de Post Asemic Press et Full Spectrum Records.
Actuellement doctorant en écriture créative à l'université de Louisiane à Lafayette, Tanner est également profondément immergé dans le domaine de la culture futuriste. En tant qu'ancien membre du conseil tribal de la nation Atakapa Ishak, il a activement contribué à des initiatives de restauration linguistique et reste un gardien des enseignements traditionnels. Ses recherches universitaires visent à établir un pont entre la sagesse de la sensibilité et de la relationnalité anciennes et les discours philosophiques contemporains. Se définissant lui-même comme un futuriste et un syncrétiste radical, Tanner est profondément engagé dans une vie d'unité post-polarité.

Artiste de la transmission et du son, le travail de Martín Rodríguez émerge de son origine Xicanx le long de la frontière entre l'Arizona et le Mexique. Il utilise la performance, l'intervention et l'installation comme processus de déchiffrage des histoires orales et des identités enchevêtrées.
Après s'être remis d'une opération chirurgicale visant à retirer une tumeur au cerveau, une rencontre fortuite avec une transmission radio prise dans les bobines de sa guitare a réorienté Rodríguez. Enracinant sa relation avec la radio dans la guérison, il examine la radio comme un moyen de transformation. Ses œuvres d'art considèrent la transmission comme un matériau à travers lequel le son s'entrelace avec l'affect, agissant comme un vaisseau pour des formes ultérieures de communication.
Des éléments de soins et de réflexion spéculative créent des rhizomes dans l'ensemble de ses œuvres. En utilisant ces méthodes plus larges, Rodriguez exploite la radio comme un matériau et une métaphore pour les connexions invisibles et pour rassembler et révéler des sites de connaissance.
Son travail a notamment été présenté au Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (CA), au Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MX), à la Darling Foundry (CA), au Walking Festival for Sound (UK/PL), au Spektrum (DE), ainsi que dans divers festivals et salles de spectacle au Canada et aux États-Unis.
