Dan Gorelick

Dan Gorelick is an artist who uses classical instruments and computation to create sonic experiences that connect people to themselves, each other, and the natural world. His current project, ATC Listening Station, creates a shared meditative soundscape by blending live air traffic control radio with generative synths. The piece was exhibited with the New Museum and was featured in the New York Times.

His work explores how music, as a time-based medium, serves as a vehicle to appreciate timescales—human, biological, geological—and to promote awareness of our relationship with nature and climate. His practice draws inspiration from deep listening approaches, exploring the meditative, healing, and connective nature of sound.

Dan is based between the Bay Area and New York City, and gives talks and workshops on the creative possibilities of technology. He is a member of the Art & Code NEW INC Year 10 and 11 cohort.

Borbo

Borbo is a percussionist, sculptor, performance artist and weirdo. It builds percussive sculptural instruments out of steel and found objects – augmenting these objects with Max/MSP to create electro-acoustic improvisational music. Additionally, it incorporates elements of performance art and drag, pushing on (and occasionally breaking) genre norms. Borbo has performed solo sets at Wonderville and Shrine, ran Open Call Conduction events at Ivy House Studio, and performed in drag at C’Mon Everybody.

Jessica Stringham (this.xor.that)

Jessica Stringham (this.xor.that) is a creative coder and visualist based in Brooklyn. Using custom-written software, they manipulate visuals live using time, the environment, MIDI input, or a combination using expressions. They have performed live visuals around NYC. They also create generative and pen plotter art.

Katarina Hoeger (CougarsAreCatsToo)

Katarina Hoeger is an Intermedia artist who uses live coding as one of many tools to convey messages to her audience. Her live coded sets walk an audience member through her exploration of the performance’s theme. When left to her own devices, Katarina strives to bring others a sense of understanding about and connection to their surroundings, a sense of belonging, and joy or positive stimulating experiences through her work. She has live coded in New York and Maine. Katarina is a board member of Music Community Lab, which runs the Monthly Music Hackathon series. She has been an artist in residence at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining, NY and holds an MFA in Intermedia from the University of Maine.
