Super excited for this set— Heart/Time next Sunday 6/29 ~7:30pm @watershed.art.and.ecology with longtime friend and collaborator @ac____dmnd We’ll be presenting an immersive AV set working with real-time data from heart rate and motion sensors.

This performance is partially funded with a grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs (DCASE) and Special Events Individual Artist Program Grant.

AC Diamond :: For the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse, I stationed myself at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in upstate New York, just at the edge of the Path of Totality—where the Moon crosses the Sun and darkness settles over the Earth for a few brief minutes. Having observed coyotes howling at the moon at the moment of Totality during the 2017 eclipse in Eastern Oregon, I knew to expect heightened wildlife activity—and was hoping for coyotes—so I planned to record this rare event.

In his live performances trbgt works with real-time audio synthesis utilizing digital/analog physical modelling techniques and feedback networks to explore aspects of texture and structure of sound as well as its presence within space through spatial sound. He is experimenting with perception and ideas of natural / artificial sounds, fluid and ambiguous environments and follows an interested in the possibilities and surprises that emerge when working with systems and situations that involve chance and unpredictability.
trbgt’s performance is presented with support from the austrian cultural forum nyc.

Archiving for Artists course begins February 2. $250 gets you four sessions of lecture and hands-on activities, plus auxiliary resources that both cover the nuts and bolts of archival practice, and lay a critical lens on its very definition.
This course is suitable for artists at any career stage. Join us! Link in bio.
Archiving for Artists *info session* on Monday, June 30 at 7pm. Course runs July 14-August 4, Monday evenings.
Course Description:
Archive: A noun, a verb. What does it actually mean to keep an archive? Is an archive something that happens to you, or something you build? Who is the archive for—who needs it now, and who will discover it in 50 years, and what will they be looking for?
In a moment where artistic censorship is on the rise and institutional support is increasingly limited, building your own archival systems—and maintaining ownership of your data and digital assets—is essential for preserving your practice today, and your legacy tomorrow.
Whether you’re sitting on decades of work or just beginning to gather your materials, this course provides practical, artist-centered approaches for compiling artist archives. We’ll take on discussion, lecture-demos, and case studies to cover both the nuts and bolts of archival practice and medium-specific challenges—while addressing the practical, ethical, and philosophical questions that arise along the way.
You’ll leave the course with a project plan that prioritizes the long-term sustainability of your archival practice, serving your creative workflows and studio admin needs alike.
This course is open to artists in any career stage, working in any media.
