In march we hosted a showcase for our first inaugural class of Passioneers! Introducing....
Michael Naffier, founder of Atlas, a community where artists collaborate with deeper intention and shared understanding through a new method called Mapping.
Audreen Fune, founder of Trellis, a community of practice and structure where people in their 20s can discover their goals and career paths.
For the past 3 months, Audreen and Michael have taken the leap into their passion and are building the future they want to see in the world.
This is just the beginning! We are starting strong and will continue to grow! We have our next cohort coming up in the Summer, click the link in bio for our interest form!

Cardin Chung believes technology should de-center itself — reawakening tactility and self-awareness rather than overshadowing the body. Michael Naffier believes music and dance are inseparable, each informing the other in ways that go deeper than spectacle. In Pandora’s Box, those two philosophies collide. Cardin moves, Michael’s soundscape answers, and what unfolds between them is something entirely alive.
Don’t miss it at Flux Festival at Blum Gallery in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 25.
All-day tickets sold out. Evening only tickets available at the link in bio. See the full lineup and schedule at flux.net.

Atlas.
A creative community built to unite artists across disciplines through a shared language called Mapping.
What Michael is building goes beyond art, it’s about creating deeper collaboration, intentional creation, and a new way for artists to understand each other.

Meet Michael, one of our Passioneers.
An artist and visionary redefining what it means to create intentional art.

from the archives: Sound & Color (2023)
a show that asked one simple question: what if the music, movement, and lighting all said the same thing?
for this show I taught dancers how to listen to music from the perspective of a producer, created some dope music with @cardincn and @daniel.mangiaracino , and then mapped it all to LED lights to create a live reactive audio-visual experience
thanks @richa.krishna for capturing this moment 🎥
task 03: tension + release
this clip was taken from a 40-minute jam session where we experimented with mapping various musical elements to a distance sensor.
task 02: ride the waves
this clip was taken from a 40-minute jam session where we experimented with mapping various musical elements to a distance sensor.
discovering new ways of using the body to shape sound with interactive tech by @cardincn

it was such an incredible experience—truly honored to share in these discoveries🙏🏽
more to come soon!
As a dancer and music maker, I’m always researching how to deepen the connection between movement and music.
With this exercise, I’m finding ways to map musical shapes to movement—drawing on Animation concepts like the Dime Start and Dime Stop to embody how sound is shaped through its articulation/envelope.
Thinking about how both sounds and movements can be broken up into [beginning, middle, end] or [attack, decay/sustain, release] and embodying the qualities of those parts.
Super grateful for @pieterperformancespace for providing open space to lab!
