On the evening of Saturday, May 30th, we proudly presented a series of collaborative performances between projection artists and musicians and sound artists. Featured performances included collaborations between media artist C.G. [create good] Ryan and sound artist Ben New, media artist Krista Faist and musician Alex Burgoyne, and video artist Nikki Swift and media and sound artist Matt Swift.
About the artists:
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 included 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.
