(( sound and light performance/installation ))
Joshua Churchill is a San Francisco based cross-disciplinary artist
that works primarily with sound and light in the context of
site-specific installations and experimental music performances and
recordings. His approach to performance/recording work, which involves
live processing and layering of generated and found sounds, and often
shares similarities in his approach to installation work, including
treatment of space, the utilization of found materials, particularly
sound, and the pairing of reactive lighting elements to sound. Through
his work, Churchill challenges the expectations of the audience and
the passive role that is traditionally assigned to them by immersing
them within it and compelling them to become critically aware of their
relationship to their surroundings.
Joshua Churchill also performs and records solo noise work under the
moniker T/R, and participates in a number of ongoing collaborative
projects. He has exhibited and/or performed at Chapel of the Chimes
(Oakland), Triple Base Gallery (San Francisco), The Recombinant Media
Compound (San Francisco), 7hz (San Francisco), National Showa Kinen
Park (Tokyo), Loop-Line (Tokyo), Yerba Buena Center For the Arts (San
Francisco), New Media Scotland, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,
Post Gallery (Los Angeles), and Galeria Ze Dos Bois (Lisbon,
Portugal).

Richard Garet
Painting by Numbers / Comp 6_2
Richard Garet is a sound artist, a video artist, and a painter. he
is interested in the phenomena found and produced in aural and visual
time-based media, in nature's processes, and human beings' relationship
with both artificial and natural environments. garet explores the
it-referential, communicational, and sensory characteristics of the
various media he utilizes. additionally, he focuses on the
investigation of aural and visual spatial-contexts, relational
structures, process, materiality, and form. even though garet's work
suits the standard gallery setting, many of his other activities as an
artist explore the various practices of experimental sound and video
performance. all of these modes are additional ways in which garet's
work exposes the audience to visual and physical acoustic sensory
perception.
I began the Painting by Number Series
as a means of exploring the possibilities of digital video's ability to
handle color, motion, digital errors, and light. I continued by turning
this outcome into moving image color field compositions. My methods
were focused on the possibilities and phenomenology of light as
material, pushing the boundaries of the media's digital permutations,
and in software processing. All the works in this series also engage in
emphasizing the media, the process, and the sensory gaps between the
eye and the mind.
