A festival of new computer-based performance art in collaboration with Jeanette Vucolo. Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center presented three artists/artist groups who had participated in our programs. Troika Ranch artistic directors, composer Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello, spoke about the ways they integrate interactive new media into their dance theater group. Their presentation included a demonstration of Coniglio’s MidiDancer, a wireless sensory system that allows a dancer’s movements to control video imagery and music. Interactive media developer and artist Tennessee Rice Dixon presented her award-winning, full-length CD-ROM entitled “Scrutiny in the Great Round”, an interactive collage of images, sounds, and poetry. Val Jeanty is an experimental artist and engineer from Haiti who has worked with such artists as jazz pianist Geri Allen, word artist Tracie Morris, Greisha and Beth Coleman, and Wallace Rooney. She performed a DJ set using her digital sound-sampling technology, turntables, and effect boxes with video artist Anne Bonney.

October 23
Zoe Beloff presents “Shadow land or light from the other side, ” a Stereoscopic film based on the 1897 autobiography of Elizabeth d’Espérance, a materializing medium who could produce full-body apparitions. The story traces the complex interaction between the birth of cinema and the ideas of conjuring and mediumship. Zoe Beloff is a digital media artist living in New York City and on the Web at http://www.zoebeloff.com. She was a “Y2K Artist In Residence.” Nayda Collazo-Llorens’ digital animations “Time” and “Light,” from her “Memories Series,” deal with the concepts of time and memory through the use of densely overlaid images, repetition, and a dreamlike sense of movement and sound.

Andrea Polli and John Pilson
November 13
Andrea Polli, a 1999 artist in residence, demonstrated “Gape,” a performance work that includes a simple spoken language system which is controlled by an eye-tracking device.
