Artist Bios:
Lauren Goshinski (Boo Lean) is a DJ and audio-visual curator, recognized by Thump as one of the “Top 50 Women Making Noise”. Her DJ sets carve the edges of dark techno, acid, and queered club sounds of the cities and spaces in which she performs. As a researcher and organizer, she is a curator for New Forms Festival (Vancouver), founder of VIA Festival (Pittsburgh), and board member of ICAS (International Cities of Advanced Sound). She approaches research of evolving audio-visual cultures as both a DJ and interviewer. www.laurengoshinski.com //// www.soundcloud.com/boo-lean
Vincent Naples (DreamBait) is a Chicago-based artist whose work is concerned with sound, light and space. Their process explores the interactions between a physical location and time-based media, the relationships between audio and video, and the development of systems of engagement between anobserver and a space. @drmbt
