about the artists:

Holly Daggers just returned from Miami where she remixed fashion models for Vogue Eyewear, and most recently performed a retro-lightshow for Page McConnell of Phish for the launch of his solo album and tour. After a year researching the visual legacies of Busby Berkeley, Florenz Ziegfeld, and Edith Head, tonight Holly will pour shots from a toxic cocktail of gold diggers, divas, and difficult dames, mashing Hollywood musicals with science fiction, mythology, and burlesque!

Zarah Cabañas (a.k.a. Lady Firefly) is a video artist and VJ based in Brooklyn. Her videos and live mixes are subtle and dreamy, finding the ethereal qualities within the everyday. These days, she improvises her “electrorganic” live video mixes and exhibits her pieces all over New York City; and internationally in Barcelona, Sydney, Montreal, and most recently at Moscow’s Territoria Festival with electronic musician Tonearm.

Katherine Liberovskaya is a video and media artist based in Montreal, Canada, and New York City. She has been working predominantly in experimental video since the late eighties. Over the years, she has produced many single-channel videos, video installation works and video performances which have been presented at a wide variety of artistic venues and events around the world. As of recent years her work - in single-channel and installation video as well as performance - mainly revolves around collaborations with new music composers/sound artists, notably Phill Niblock, Al Margolis/If,Bwana, and David Watson. Since 2003 she is active in live video mixing exploring improvisation with numerous live new music/audio artists including: Margarida Garcia, Barry Weisblat, o.blaat, Matt Pass, Anthony Coleman, Tiziana Bertoncini, Thomas Lehn, Urkuma, Angelica Castellò, Giuseppe Ielasi, Renato Rinaldi, Antonio Della Marina, Hitoshi Kojo, murmer, John Grzinich, André Gonçalves, Alessandro Bosetti, Audrey Chen, and Zanana, among others. In addition to her art practice she has concurrently been involved in the programming and organization of diverse media art events, notably with Studio XX in Montreal (programming coordinator 1996-1998, president 2001-2003), Espace Vidéographe, Montreal and Experimental Intermedia, NY (Screen Compositions 2005, 2006, 2007) as well as the OptoSonic Tea series at Diapason in NYC. Al Margolis has been active under the name If, Bwana since 1984, making music that has swung between fairly spontaneous studio constructions and more process-oriented composition. He was an activist in the 1980s American cassette underground through his cassette label Sound of Pig Music and is co founder of the experimental music label Pogus Productions. For the past two years he has been collaborating with video artist Katherine Liberovskaya.

EyeWash is an event where VJs and Video artists perform live-mix video, present audio visual performances in collaboration with Audio artists, workshop performance involving video and technology.
