Cloud Eye Control is a collaborative performance group from Los Angeles comprised of three members: Chi-wang Yang, Miwa Matreyek, and Anna Oxygen. They create original works that uniquely combine interactive media with live performance. Since its inception in 2004 they have created three original works that have been presented both nationally and internationally. Whether through a re-imagining of Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight, the discovery of powerful crystals underground, or one woman's interstellar search for a new home, a common theme in their stories is human adaptation in a technological world. To realize these stories, they project pre-rendered animation and live camera imagery onto various surfaces on the stage, and this imagery functions as scenery and virtual actor. Both high and low tech methods are used to allow the live actor to interact with the media. These methods range from custom-built interactive video software to the physical manipulation of video puppets. cloudeyecontrol.com

Kim Schoen's work experiments with the rhetorics of display. Schoen focuses on the mechanics and latent poetics in the commercial landscape that surrounds us. In her performative and experimental photographs, video installations, texts, and mono-prints, the blank repetition of consumer culture collides with literary influences, forming a more complex picture and linking image to body in a space where they can no longer be separated. Schoen received her M.F.A. in photography from CalArts in 2005 and her Masters in Philosophy from the photography department at The Royal College of Art in London in 2008. Recent exhibitions of her work include A Voyage Around My Room (Norma Mangione Gallery, Turin), A Man Asleep (LM Projects, Los Angeles), Trust Fall (The Whitechapel Gallery, London).

Sneaky Snake is an experimental sound project in synthesized tonal waves. Its explicit purpose is the creation of altered states and well-being within the viewer/listener. George Jensen and Ian James began Sneaky Snake by focusing strictly on long form ambience as a means to induce trance-like, semi-consciousness within the audience. Lost within the environment and their subjectivity, participants often experience worlds within themselves. Over time Sneaky Snake has invested itself in complicating the paradigm, introducing aspects of field recordings, sampling, and synthesized drum beats into its healing music. sneakysnake.net

Gabie Strong is an artist with a multidisciplinary approach to creating work about nature, technology, power and social resistance. Through her art she seeks to tease out the contemporary sublime by visualizing the post-Cold War affect of the American West. With a foundation in conceptualism and research in the built environment, Strong traces entropy in the West by framing vernacular obsolescence as speculative futures through photography, installation, and sound. Her sound performance and recordings are studies in degeneration. She improvises arrangements and layers of aural textures to emphasize reduced and abstracted musical gestures to further invoke drone and decay. She has received grant awards from the University of California, Irvine, UCIRA/UCR Sweeney Art Gallery, the UCR Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts, and was a 2011 CCI ARC grant award recipient. Strong's work has been exhibited internationally and nationally, including Angels Gate Cultural Center, Autonomie, PØST, Pitzer Art Galleries, University Art Gallery at UC Irvine, LAXArt, Gallery Five Thirty Three, and the Torrance Art Museum.
