elekhlekha

elekhlekha āļ­āļĩāđ€āļŦāļĨāļ°āđ€āļ‚āļĨāļ°āļ‚āļĨāļ° is a collaborative research-based group consisting of immigrant Bangkok-born, Brooklyn-based artists, Kengchakaj–āđ€āļāđˆāļ‡āļ‰āļāļēāļˆ and Nitcha–āļ“āļīāļŠāļŠāļē. The collective delves into subversive storytelling by exploring non-hegemonic sounds and visual archives, historical research–decoding, and unlearning biases. elekhlekha’s work spans performing documents, multimedia, and technology centers to interrogate, experiment, explore, and define decolonized possibilities. elekhlekha āļ­āļĩāđ€āļŦāļĨāļ°āđ€āļ‚āļĨāļ°āļ‚āļĨāļ° is a Thai word that means dispersedly, chaos, unorganized, all over, and non-direction to break free our practices from being labeled through a Western lens. They are currently based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn, NY). elekhlekha has received support from Babycastles, Culturehub, NEW INC, Rhizome, Processing Foundation, etc. In 2022, they were awarded The Lumen Prize Gold Award for their debut project, Jitr (āļˆāļīāļ•āļĢ), a performative audio-visual that utilizes historical research, Southeast Asian sound cultures, and live coding tools to reconcile Southeast Asia’s shared heritage.

Omar Delarosa

Omar Delarosa (he/him) uses AI/ML techniques and models alongside
live-coding tools to drive synthesizers and samplers and explore the intersection
between music, computer science and artificial life. He’s been making music since
his teens using a mixture of guitars, old synths and computers. His favorite
organisms are jellyfish and fungi.

Loren Tyler

Loren Tyler (she/they) is a Brooklyn based multidisciplinary artist
whose work explores new possibilities in texture, geometry, pattern, and structure,
using a combination of electronic and physical techniques. Visual works use modern
robotic manufacturing equipment with traditional art printing methods. Audio works
merge natural acoustics with digital processing. Both mediums aim to find the
balance of intricate technical detail and precision against the variation of natural
materials. Instagram: @loren.tyler.prints.
