about the artists:

Ben Neill and Bill Jones will present their new XIX project for mutantrumpet, laptops and interactive video, based on samples of 19th century music and art. XIX combines ambient electronic sounds with Neill’s digitally equipped mutantrumpet controlling both electronic music and video in real time. John Conte on electric bass and Jim Mussen on drums add deep, live grooves to the mix.

Eric Dunlap will present his laser dance piece SPAZ incorporating live video. In this visual performance the dancer interacts with laser light to create a lightshow with his body by breaking the beams of two lasers. Spaz plays along with DJ Duane Reade as he mixes, expressing and challenging the music with qualities of motion.

VJ Moto will perform a live-mix video set to the music of Otto von Schirach. Moto is an EyeWash favorite, performing earlier this year with us at the MoMA Family Festival. His character-based visual work, both motion and still, has been exhibited extensively in the US and Europe including the Whitney, the new Museum, the Neuberger Museum of Art; and can be seen on the newly released Pictoplasma – Characters in Motion DVD.

Long-time collaborators Adam Kendall (video) and Vortex (music) are joined by Elise Knudson (dance) for quartet of improvised audio, video and dance. Working with a live camera and custom footage, acrobatics-inspird movement, electro-acoustic instrumentation, and custom software, the quartet will explore how the three mediums can interact and influence each other in a live, spontaneous setting.

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.
