Through the Eyes, Ears, and Mind of Matthew Gar Bailey
Classic and haunting. As is everything Mz. Andersson lays her hands on or puts her voice to. If you’re the artistically adventurous and eccentric type, check out anything you can by “Fever Ray”, and her and her brother’s experimental pop electronic group “The Knife”.

French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot has created a living work of art here which includes: zebra finches, electric guitars, and an avian friendly space and time. As the birds go about their daily routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape. One even takes to the guitar with a stick. -A lil winged shredder.
Boursier-Mougenot’s installation will be up through:

I don’t throw the term “genius” around lightly, but the musically-oriented video/sound collage duo of “The Books” are about “there” in my humble opinion. See for yourself in this “altered” bootleg of a recent performance they did at the St. Louis’ Luminary Center for the Arts. Continuing in a similar subliminal, transcendentally-laced A/V sample-based artfoRm as that as the godfather’s of the genre “Negativland” or as the marvelously mischievous masters from down under “The Avalanches”. No mistaking them for either of those outfits though, “The Books” are most certainly their own entity, and do “it” with their own unique brand of subtlety, grace, & musicianship. Which coincidentally is right up my proverbial artistic alley.

With mere sand and light as the only tools/medium. 24 year old Ukrainian artist, Kseniya Simonova, creates a striking portrayal and interpretation of the German invasion into Ukraine during WWII. That is some pretty damn impressive artistry in my humble opinion.
Spreading love through art and understanding.
alGARhythm: One of Central Florida’s best kept secrets. Tucked away in his secret laboratory somewhere in the wetlands of Volusia county, this digital shamen will bring the ruckus as he performs his special brand of electronic rock and roll for your eyes and ears. Multiple drum machines, circuit bent toys, and an array of samplers are his weapons. Your brain stem, his target.
Pan/Dos: The end of tv as we know it. Pan/Dos combines the analogue hardware of yore into a chaotic, yet melodic soup of sight and sound, using VHS and TV Tubes as the ingredients. Must be seen to be believed.
Dr.XnLb: This is what happens when a certified code ninja slices his way into the music scene. By touching his mac in its naughty places, he can tease beats into a digital tapestry of circular logic and musical run on sentences with more segues than Dean Kamen. Also, pancakes.
DJ [HexWarrior]: This host of WPRK’s Talk Nerdy To Me and founder of the Nerdapalooza music festival will start the night off right with his own mix of Nerdcore, Chiptunes, Wizard Rock, and other genres so geeky, they make Woz himself blush.

Bas Jan Ader was born on April 19, 1942 & was presumed drowned at sea at some point during 1975. As he “tried” crossing the Atlantic ocean in the smallest boat ever attempted. He’s long been considered somewhat of an artist’s artist in certain circles. Ader’s aRTw3rk - mostly film, photo, and conceptually based.. expressed/confronted loss, death, extreme sadness, and often implored the use of gravity and his own body to help illustrate the those concepts, as well as inevitabilities in life that all humans must eventually face.
Learning more about him and the tragedies and tribulations he faced throughout his entire life, such as the murder of his father by Nazi’s, has made a profound effect on me as a hyper-sensitive w3rking artist/person. So eYe have posted some thoughts, links, a video, n’ such here on my site for those of you who may be interested in similar philosophical eccentricities. -And in a brave man who was willing to make the ultimate sacrifices in order to express some of the deepest of human conditions, emotions, and circumstances.
There’s a solid little article about Bas Jan Ader and a post-humous exhibit that you can check out here: www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3652223/The-artist-who-sailed-to-oblivion.html
