about the artists:

Holly Daggers, co-founder of FMT and EyeWash, is a video/media artist and live-mix VJ based in New York City. Her innovative use of audio and video has been showcased in theater and dance, she has created interactive installation for the re-opening festivities at MoMA: The Museum of Modern Art, and she has toured as a featured onstage or opening visual artist with music acts Black Eyed Peas, Busta Rhymes, and Fischerspooner.

VJ Exeris, also based in NYC, has performed around the country for the last six years, beside the likes of Astral Projection, Carl Cox, Josh Wink, Biz Markie and many others. He has also spent the last decade as half of the industrial electronic duo Mindless Faith, who not only have a track on the new X-box 360 video game PGR3, but also won a NIN remix contest in four cities, with Trent Reznor himself saying, “its better than many mixes I’ve paid for!”

Chris Korda is the creator of Whorld, a software that fuses two recent digital technologies: visualization, and VJing. Whorld generates real-time animation of sacred geometry, but the visualization is interactive and controlled by the artist(s) as a live performance.

Missy Galore, the pleasure revolutionary herself, graces us with a special request performance of “Fuzzy” and more of art house vj rock. Check out the track on myspace.Missy is half of Feedbuck Galore, a mainstay in then New York visual community since 1993, and has presented nationally and internationally including events at the Warhol Museum, the United Nations Peace Bell Ceremony (multiple years) and via transatlantic simulcast with Future Sound of London.

And special gift from In Pursuit of Tea handmade Display Teas that bloom in the glass. Works of art handpicked and tied into rosettes that “bloom” after steeping, unfurling slowly into tiny leaf and bud sets with a mild sweetness and pleasant aftertaste.

EyeWash is presented by Forward Motion Theater, Inc. a 501(c)3 non-profit organization since 2001, and is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency.
