Alan Sondheim was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; he lives with
his partner, Azure Carter in Brooklyn NY. A cross-disciplinary artist,
writer, and theorist, he has exhibited, performed and lectured widely.
Recently, Sondheim had a successful residency at Eyebeam Art +
Technology Center in New York; while there he worked with a number of
collaborators on performances and sound pieces dealing with pain and
annihilation. He also created a series of texts and 3D printing models
of ‘dead or wounded avatars.’ His ideas explore death, sex, space,
time, terror and how these effect our psyche and the body.
Carla Gannis is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
She received a BFA in painting from The University of North Carolina
at Greensboro and an MFA in painting from Boston University. In the
late 1990s she began incorporating net and digital technologies into
her work. Gannis is the recipient ofseveral awards, including a 2005
New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Grant in Computer Arts, an
Emerge 7 Fellowship from the Aljira Art Center, and a Chashama AREA
Visual Arts Studio Award in New York, NY. She has exhibited in solo
and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. She is
currently Assistant Chair of Digital Arts at Pratt Institute in
Brooklyn.
