Alex Myers // Video
Jeff Thompson // Audio

from the release:

"During the opening, Alex Myers and Jeff Thompson will present a live video and audio performance that builds from the fundamental units of computer files. Myers' live video performance looks like a mix of geometric minimalist painting and a Skype video chat on a dialup modem; created by manipulating the file structure of an existing video file. Similarly, Thompson's audio performance sonifies raw data such as Photoshop and AutoCAD files. Manipulating the playback parameters using custom software, the files become streams of droning tones and skittering, grinding noise."

Thanks, Joe, for all the help with the code!
