Artists
MSHR is an art collective that builds and explores sculptural electronic systems. Their practice is a self-transforming entity with its outputs patched into its inputs, expressing its form through interactive installations and live improvisations. They use analog circuits and open-source software to sculpt resonant audiovisual shapes and environments. MSHR was established in 2011 in Portland, Oregon by Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper. Their name is a modular acronym, designed to hold varied ideas over time.
Juan Flores is a multidisciplinary artist born in Del Rio, TX and raised in the southeast side of San Antonio, TX. He Received his BA in Art from Connecticut College in New London, CT. He was the recipient of the mortimer Hays-Brandeis fellowship which funded his concentration on sound art in Mexico City for over a year. He is currently an MFA candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Arts & Technology Studies Program with a focus in kinetic art and live coding.
Juliana Castro Duperly is a video artist and live video performer who understands video and written text as agents of construction and de-construction of meaning. The plasticity of both media allows her to create aesthetics that veil and unveil a poetry that, like video in real time, resides in the execution. Constantly collaborating with sound artist and musicians, her work has been showed in Sonar Bogota, Mutek.co, Festival Domo Lleno, and most recently in Ars Electronica.
Pepper Mill Rondo
Hausu Mountain head honchos Doug Kaplan and Maxwell Allison record under the name Pepper Mill Rondo. Envisioned as an internet era mutation of the McCartney/Lennon songwriting partnership, their music takes the form of solo tracks, improvised duo recordings, and processed karaoke performances.
