ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES & PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS

1. Amos Latteier

I build machines and give lectures. I'm a big fan of the public
library, PowerPoint, and pigeons. I've been called the "Best Fake
Professor in Portland" by the Willamette Week.

A Report on Pigeon Aerial Photography

This performance discusses the history of aerial photography and
documents my experiments with pigeon aerial photography.

I raise pigeons and am building small cameras that they can use to take
photos. I have used APS film cameras and small digital cameras along
with custom timing circuits and harnesses. The preliminary results are
promising.

2. Neil Wiernik - Naw

Montreal native Neil Wiernik currently living in Toronto, began his
explorations in electronic music making as early as 1988. Known to push
the boundaries of his musical form from designing new or manipulating
existing sound making devices and software to creative uses of
production environments and sound sources, naws music is a blend of
sound manipulation/design, experimental musics and dub-tech rhythms,
which on the surface sound quite simple, but incorporate a number of
touches that steer this artist away from being simply another minimal
techno or experimental laptop artist. He combines post-house, dubby
minimal techno, microsound and thick ambience, to create his own
version of deep techno, house and other electronic laptop orineted
musics. Neil has released music on various national and international
record labels, including releases on Noise Factory, Complot,
Clevermusic, Piehead, A/S Systems, Wabi and Pertin_nce. As naw, Neil
has performed extensively along side a variety of national and
international artists both in and outside of Canada. In 2004 and 2005
naw will release his follow up noise factory record full length called:
"green nights orange days", as well as a full length outting with
Pertin_nce Records called: "terrain vague". these 2 records finds Neil
at his deepest, dubbiest and experimental sounding yet. the release of
these records will co inside with a series of North American and
European tour dates through out 2005.

Neil will discuss his work as an electronic musican and sound artist
and will demo the Bidule software that he uses to make his music.

3. Resnick/Milward/Shaikin - My Doki-Doki

Can you feel the beating of your heart? When was the last time you felt
it pound, or skip a beat? Was it from excitement? Fear? Attraction?

Our heartbeat is a direct line to our emotional and physical state.
Imagine you could share it with others? Who would you choose to share
it with? A lover? A friend? A stranger? Can we interact with people on
a deeper level by tuning in to a whole new channel of body language?

The concept behind my doki-doki is to enable you to see and feel your
heartbeat and share the experience with others. By providing a visceral
_expression_ of your heartbeat, my doki-doki creates a new kind of
self-awareness and a unique opportunity to connect with others.
