She is the current Alba Artist in Residence at Experimental Sound Studio Chicago. Michael Masaru Flora is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Ben Lomond, California. Working within the intersections of art, science, music, and mathematics, he is interested in the emergent phenomena that occurs through non-deterministic and autopoietic processes. Informed by architecture, systems, perceptual psychology, visual art, and computer music, his works often take the form of large scale installation and performance. Kevin CK Lo is a composer, choreographer, writer and artist living on Chechenyo Ohlone land. In his compositions for live performance and installation, he utilizes instruments, digital sound processing, generative programming environments, and dance to examine spatial and auditory sensitivities, topological structure and audience kinesthetic response while seeking to corrupt conventional compositional/performative/installative rationale.
