New York Electronic Arts Festival is a summer celebration of cutting-edge electronic art, here are some moments captured at the festival. This year’s theme was Physical and Digital: multifaceted visions in electronic art, an exhibition with Julia Sinelnikova, Amy Youngs, LoVid, Zahra Poonawala, Alexander Hahn, Susie Ibarra, Michael Schumacher, Morehshin Allahyari and Amanda Gutiérrez. The first two weekends featured the Russian Sound Art Showcase (RSAS) – a compilation of multi-channel Sound Art works of Russian sound artists.
The video starts with Nicole Goodwin's "Ain’t I a Woman (?/!): Audio Frequencies", a reimagining of a collection of poetry that speaks to the plight of African-American women as well as personal narratives. This is followed by "Duvet", Colin Marston's live 4-channel mix of a recording created at EMPAC.
Next, you will see Mario Diaz de Leon present 'Body Pulse Prism". After Mario we have experimental composers and sound artist Lea Bertucci, and Susie Ibarra, Fragility: An Exploration of Polyrhythms created in collaboration with choreographer Souleymane Badolo.
Following Susie is "Left Footprints (WIP)" by LoVid, a performance by Julia Sinelnikova, "Exotica" by Ursula Scherrer and Michael Schumacher and Sad Music for Lonely People by Natacha Diels.
After Natacha we have BikeBox R(i)de by LowVid, as well as Sounds Over Time: A review of experimental multi-channel sound art from Harvestworks DMAC.
Next we have “Manifesto from Lorraine” by Zahra Poonawala, a poetical interactive sound sculpture, that addresses the public with agile movements and proclaims recorded manifestoes of different political and social subjects.
Followed by "urMIX" by Michael Schumacher and "Becoming Biodiversity" by Amy Youngs, an augmented reality application that encourages participants to explore and experience local, ecological networks present in the park.
Next you can see, Flâneuse La caminanta SoundWalk by Amanda Gutierrez, a video documentary edited as a VR, using a 360-degree camera to document soundwalks of female participants in the public space.
After Amanda is Morehshin Allahyari's “In Mere Spaces All Things Are Side By Side I”, the first in a series of videos exploring the complex adoption and accessibility of the internet in a Developing country. Followed by Julia Sinelnikova's interactive video installation and a series of talks and panels by the artists and the participants of the festival.
Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center brought the seventh New York Electronic Art Festival held biennially on Governor’s Island and other venues in New York City. Presented in partnership with the Trust for Governors Island, ISSUE Project Room, Asia Society, the New York Hall of Science, Urban Field Station and others.

Live data analysis of Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 worldwide data is used to create this generative sound piece. Data is sent through custom software into analog and digital synthesizers which trigger visuals formed by news clips recorded on June 1st, 2020 during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd.
The title Inherent Uncertainty represents our current state of affairs and the systems we are seeing crumble before our own eyes. As the viewer listens to the sound shift and change, these shifts are simply the analysis of the destruction of the virus. This project explores the unpredictability of our future and the thin veneer that we define as a ‘civil’ society.
Software engineering by John Brumley. Music by Paul Geluso and Clinton Van Arnam. Visuals by Ivana Dama in collaboration with Clinton Van Arnam. Creative collaboration with Harvestworks, New York including Carol Parkinson, and Paul Geluso. Mentorship and creative vision in partnership with Victoria Vesna, UCLA.
SOUNDING CORONA series is co-conceptualized by the UCLA ArtSci Center, and Harvestworks NY with the intent of composing and amplifying the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 worldwide data live data analysis including total recovered, deaths, and cases. Throughout this ongoing summer series, sound artists will be invited to use the texture of this data as an underlying vibration for engagement. With this collective sound and image exploration we seek to illuminate the interconnectivity of events around the world.")
