Description

Live coding performances by Voyde, Mister Bomb, casualsalad, Snow Schwartz, Jay Tobin, and Shelly Xiong

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.

Liam Baum (aka Mister Bomb)

Liam Baum (he/him) is a musician, educator and creative coder. He is a music teacher at BELL Academy, a public middle school in Bayside, Queens. He recently got his NY State Teaching Certification in Computer Science from Hunter College. Liam is constantly exploring how technology can be used for the purpose of creative artistic expression both in his classroom and personal artistic endeavors. This has led him to collaborate with CS4All in the NYC Department of Education to assist building curriculum for creative coding with the p5.js Sound Library and to become a teacher ambassador for Makey Makey. He enjoys merging his passions for music, teaching, and coding by making video tutorials and leading workshops around the NYC area. He also occasionally performs live coded music under the name, ‘Mister Bomb’.

Chirag Davé (aka casualsalad)

Chirag Davé (they/them) is a Brooklyn based experimental musician and sound artist performing under the moniker casualsalad. They try to create evocative ambient soundscapes using field recordings, modular synthesis, and their voice. Inspired by the free jazz movement and structureless improvisation they collaborate with the cosmos and embrace uncertainty. Chirag actively performs in various US cities at music festivals, theaters and galleries, organized/co-organized experimental multi-modal art shows such as EMOTIONS FEST, and algoraves for LivecodeNYC.

Snow Schwartz

This is a space for reimagining our relationships with technology. It
is also a space to grieve current relationships we are coerced into holding with
technology inside capitalism. In this installation, I ask what it would mean to
treat technology as memory – as something that connects time and is distributed
among people through careful practices of sharing. Finally, this is a space to
uplift the work people are already doing to build and sustain technologies that are
life affirming and rooted in community needs. I invite everyone visiting to share
resources, stories, reflections, or anything that might help us form more symbiotic
relationships with technology.

Jay Tobin

Jay Tobin (he/him) is an audiovisual artist based out of Brooklyn, New
York. He’s been featured at the Millennium Film Workshop, ARS Electronica, and the
Creative Code Festival at Lightbox NYC. He specializes in creative coding,
procedural soundscapes, and digital instrument building, with extensive experience
building games in Unity. He’s currently working on his passion project polyMorph — a
free, generative software instrument designed for both live performance and studio
use.

Shelly Xiong
