Messica Arson

Jessica Garson aka Messica Arson ventured into the live coding scene in 2017 while seeking
gigs for her new punk solo project utilizing Sonic Pi. Since then, her sound has
significantly transformed, emerging as a unique fusion of live sampling, modular
synthesis, and live coding. A defining feature of her music is the incorporation of
screaming, adding a layer of rawness. Messica has showcased her talent across the
US, Canada, and Europe, opening for notable artists such as Oliver Ackerman of A
Place to Bury Strangers and Eric Schlappi from Schlappi Engineering. She has been an
active member of LivecodeNYC since 2017; she has played a vital role in organizing
and planning shows for the collective.

R. Luke DuBois

R. Luke DuBois (Programming, Kinect sensor design, Visuals) is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and has lectured and taught worldwide on interactive sound and video performance. Stemming from his investigations of “time-lapse phonography,” his recent work is a sonic and encyclopedic relative to time-lapse photography. Just as a long camera exposure fuses motion into a single image, his work reveals the average sonority, visual language, and vocabulary in music, film, text, or cultural information. Exhibitions of his work include: Institut Valencià d’Art Modern, Spain; 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; San Jose Museum of Art; National Constitution Center, Philadelphia; Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art, Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul; 2007 Sundance Film Festival; and the Sydney Film Festival. His work and writing has appeared in print and online in the New York Times and Esquire Magazine.
