Description

Live coding performances by Sylvia Ke, Melody Loveless, and Voyde.

Sylvia Ke

Sylvia Ke (any/all) is a multimedia artist, performer, creative
technologist, first-gen immigrant (legal, for now), and transexual degenerate living
and aging in Brooklyn, NY. In their thoughts and works, they contemplate a lot about
how existing and emerging technologies transform, redefine, and create bodies,
intimacy, materiality, myth, labor, and spacetime, while vice versa. Their hobby is
to suck on the juicy, rubbery nails of pickled chicken feet and describe it to
people in graphical details.

Melody Loveless

Melody Loveless is a musician, performer, educator, creative
technologist, and multimedia artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work ranges from live
coding performance, generative sound installations, multisensory performance, and
more. An active performer and member of the NYC creative community, she has
performed around the city in various venues, including Babycastles, Wonderville,
(le) poisson rouge, Performance Space New York, and Eyebeam. Additionally, she has
also organized/co-organized events including various concerts/performances,
exhibitions, conferences, hackathons, and more. Past honors include artist
residencies (local and international), performances and talks at conferences and
festivals, and awards and press for her music and work as a creative technologist
(see below for details). She has presented talks on music education and her artistic
practice for various organizations and events including the New Music Gathering,
Monthly Music Hackathon, Bates Digital Music Symposium, and Pathways: Art and
Technology. As an educator, she has taught in various institutes and organizations
including New York University, the New School, Hunter College, Music Hackspace, and
Harvestworks. She is also part of the first cohort of Cycling 74’s Max Certified
Trainer Program.

Voyde

Voyde, aka Indira Ardolic, is a New Media Artist and Creative Technologist from New York. She employs digital technologies to recreate experiences and dreams, merging mysticism with technology. Her favorite themes include celebrating queerness, destigmatizing mental health, and uplifting marginalized identities. She seeks to use game engines to enable unique interactions, providing a deeper understanding of our humanity. She discovered games as a perfect escape from reality during her youth. Now, she sees games and interactive 3D media as the ultimate love letter to reality itself—how beautiful is it that we learned math to mimic the movement of water? It feels like creating an illusion of a grander life, one so compact it can be held in your hand.
