Roomiks Cube is a multichannel panoramic A/V
performance. Part of the ongoing MUX A/V series, this rare event
is a collaborative effort between live video performance artists
C-TRL Labs and NY based electronic composer Caural. Specially
tailored to Monkey Town's minimalist cubic interior, C-TRL will
utilize motion graphics, 3D and
realtime software (Modul8 and Max/MSP Jitter) to create an environmental
extension to the existing architectural space. Caural sets the
tone w/ flowing abstract compositions in a rich sonic space. The
audience will be immersed in a whirl of architectural landscapes
and organic forms and tones in both performers playfull experimental
styles.
10pm
r.b.w. is an ongoing live audiovisual set associated
with colors, shapes and forms.
The set consists of 3 abstract live visuals that associate three
primary color states; red, blue and white. Based on chromotherapy
studies, specific colors bring balance to our physical and emotional
systems. Each selected set of three colors(as samples) brings
different stimulations and effects. The intention is to investigate
how color in motion can alter mood or emotional states similar
to music; what certain music has the power to do so. Music and
sound when pursued with this approach should elevate combination
beyond and besides status quo. This is the potential of what can
be experienced when visual and sound are combined in a live media
experiment with psychophysical approach. The set will be presented
with live EEG (Electroencephalograph) generated sound.
After the show, there will be a brief Q&A with audiences.

aka chiaki watanabe (live visual)
Media artist c.h.i.a.k.i. creates moving images that touch the
fields of visual music, visual language and synesthesia with minimalist
and organic aesthetics. Her inquiries into visual communication
and consciousness offer resonant aesthetic and poetic insights,
as she explores a new form of expression, "visual music"
- a combination of digital video and music. She has been exhibited
internationally in various venues ranging from media art/video
festivals including New York Video Festival, European Media Art
Festival(de), Viper Media Festival(ch), Mapping festival(ch) to
art institutions including ICA London(uk), Kunsthall Bergen(no)

Zach
Layton (live sound)
Zach is a new york based composer and improviser interested in
biofeedback techniques, psychoacoustics and perception. His work
investigates complex relationships created through the interaction
of simple core elements like sinewaves or kinetic visual patterns.
His interest in biofeedback led him into the research of music
produced by human brainwaves, subsequently building a homemade
Electroencephalagrah (EEG), which he now uses in performance.
He also is the curator of Brooklyn's monthly experimental music
series "darmstadt: classics of the avant garde" which
features leading composers and improvisers from around New York
City.
