about the artists:

Originally from Brooklyn, Jonathan Lippincott is a video artist and musician who programs virtual universes and explores them with his audience. He makes visualization software for live performances, then runs it and performs using that very same software. Jon has been programming most of his life. He likes it a lot and does it both for work and for fun. Jon is probably the most futuristic person in the world.

unstablelandscape + Shiftic describe their work in terms of embodied space electronic performance. Inspired by their experiences in dance and architecture they create image-sound environments that are actualized with their movements and subjective atmospheres. Their performances collapse a technological manic drive with evocative minimalism of retro-futuristic imagined landscapes.

Chris Jordan is a producer, educator, sculptor, and visualist. CJ’s focus has been on the fundamental aspects of light and the mechanics of vision. His work challenges the individual to examine how technology is altering the solipsistic beliefs of society and materialism. His live projection performances have been an integral part of dance, orchestra, rock, dj, theater, and circus performances. He teaches occasionally, gives sporadic lectures, organizes semi-regular salons, and projects everywhere. Chris also organizes the T-Minus film festival, the only time-lapse film festival in the world. Accompaning CJ will be Konrad Schierling, who is first and foremost a researcher, most recently in the fields of developmental genetics and recombinant dance music. In his studies thus far on the latter, he has found the transfection of dub inflected washes into jak friendly minimal house to be quite amenable and plans to continue experiments along these lines. Plus, he has been a resident (under the moniker dj movement) at the most excellent and long-lived Bunker party at Subtonic (NYC) for 3 years.

VJ Nadada is James Cornwell, also known as Jim C. He burst upon the scene in New York City’s East Village in 1983. He had been experimenting with video and darkroom photography, derived from his video abstractions. He had also been working with sound, lush sonic environments to accompany his ambient videos. Jim C.’s first solo exhibition was at the notorious after hours art club, the Limbo Lounge, in its first incarnation on East 10th Street, between the Gracie Mansion Gallery and Life Café. Jim went on to run several alternative art and performance spaces, including the Magic Gallery on East Third Street and Bowery, the Nada Gallery on Rivington Street and the New Stand on east Third Street and Avenue C. Cornwell was a key player in the emerging art scene at that time, located in the East Village and the Lower East Side. The movement that came to be known as the “Rivington School” was partly instigated by Jim’s activities at Nada Gallery. Jim began painting in 1984, exhibiting his work at such places as the E.M. Donahue Gallery and the Gracie Mansion Gallery. Jim is now invloved with live video remixing, known as “VJ” work, an art form that he has been working with as early as 1984, when he was a house VJ at the avant-garde nightclub, Danceteria.
“Jim C. is the quintessential East Village artist.” - art historian Paul Bartlett, editor of Captured: A Film/Video History of the Lower East Side.
