Jay Reinier

Jay Reinier’s work tightropes the boundary between speech and sound, often taking the form of creative/critical hypertexts, performances, and installations. Inspired by posthumanist ideas, their work challenges anthropocentrism, using technology and multimedia to articulate technological, ghostly ways of being. Jay attended Oberlin College and Conservatory, where they studied composition and comparative literature. They received Highest Honors for his undergraduate thesis, “Demons of Analogy: The Encounter Between Music and Language After Mallarmé,” which investigates how French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé theorizes a musical poetics, and how music speaks back at this poetics. They have designed and taught four courses in Oberlin’s Experimental College which explore experimental literature and posthumanist philosophies. They currently live and work in New York City and are getting their MFA in Performance and Interactive Media Arts at Brooklyn College.

Cameron Alexander

Cameron Alexander (aka emptyflash) is an artist, programmer, and
scientist based in New York. His work explores the relationship between math and
nature (especially in fractals, feedback, and non-linear systems), altered and
esoteric states of consciousness, and the essence of reality through generative art,
livecoded performances, and alternative process photography. Cameron received his
B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Houston in 2015. He has been
creating generative art since 2011, and his work has been exhibited, installed, and
performed in galleries, theaters, clubs, and venues across the U.S. Cameron is a
member of the New York-based collective livecode.nyc, where he organizes shows,
gives livecoding workshops, and performs livecoded visuals and music at algoraves.
