About the Artists:

ANDROID JONES

"Jones draws his inspiration from the edge of reality to the corners of human perception. For Android the true medium of art is the mind. He translates the electrical impulses of creativity and imagination directly into an interface powered by light and energy." - Anna Haraszti 

In his art and in his life, Android Jones seeks to expand the infinite boundaries of reality.  He is a techno-mystic visual pioneer of digital and analog art. He draws on a classical background of academic and traditional skills to interface with the machine, communicate to the mind and connect to the heart.

Android takes advantage of multiple mediums of creative expression to further push art history forward into the future. Harnessing the power of electricity Andrew bends light to shape dreams. ajones@spectrum.net, androidjones.net

ndroid Jones will be painting live at the opening party, influenced by his recent experiences in the sensory deprivation tank

Michael Clarke: 

Michael Clarke is a Light Sculptor fascinated by shadows and tones of radiant energy defusing through objects. He uses recycled materials to recommission or re-purpose; resurrecting and breathing new life into the forms. Clarke’s vision begins; seeing light or life where many choose not to. theinnershade.com

“I started with the designing of lamp shades from the X-rays of the many orthopedic injures I sustained as a child from extreme sports. I loved the inner workings of my skeleton exposed, being back lit, showing a period of dark times plagued by injury. The X-rays with the screws or pins on the film are by far my favorites. As macabre as it first appears they represented my healing, my getting healthy the light coming back into me. From there I realize anything could be illuminated and many things should be. Everything could be brought to another level of purpose, and everything has an inner shade and an inner light. That is why I create” – Michael Clarke    

About the music:

Random Rab
"Emerging from his own distinct corner of the West Coast electronic music scene, Random Rab offers a powerful, timeless contribution to sonic exploration. Rab is a master of manipulating our temporal awareness, leading us into seemingly ancient worlds, where to our amazement, we find visible shreds of the future. Allow his sound to catalyze your travels into haunting ecstasy, and you will not return to your same beginning. Playing only his own originally produced music live, the depth and craftsmanship of this offering is remarkable. With an array of drum machines, samplers, sequencers, and instruments, it is a clear devotion to expression and perfection. The beats are smooth, bold, and overwhelming. The original vocals, melodies and hitting bass merge seamlessly into a tapestry of unique and unexpected journeys." randomrab.net
