Andrea Polli’s art work resides in the intersection between art and science, and she has developed projects related to perception and cognition, complexity science, and human behavior. Her projects are hybrids that feed into multiple areas of research and her work often offers new ‘readings’ of data produced by natural systems that bring to light unfamiliar aspects of the information. Projects she has created include a 1992 system using the Lorenz attractor as a structure to guide human/computer musical improvisation and a long-running performance project started in 1996, Intuitive Ocusonics, a system for performing sound using eye movements. She currently works in collaboration with meteorological and environmental scientists to develop systems for understanding storms and climate through sound, and a recent collaboration with Dr. Glenn Van Knowe, a lead scientist at MESO, called Atmospherics/Weather Works presents a spatialized sonification of highly detailed models of storms that devastated the New York area.

Kurt Ralske is a NYC-based video artist, composer, and programmer. His work involves the expressive improvisation of both sound and image, simultaneously and in real-time. He creates his work exclusively with his own custom software, written in C/C++ and Java. He performs at museums, galleries, and theaters throughout Europe, Canada, and the US, including the Guggenheim Bilbao, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art. The New York Times has praised his “compelling, ingenious alliance of sound and motion” and “technological wizardry”. Kurt’s work received First Prize at the 2003 Transmediale International Media Art Festival in Berlin, as a member of the real-time video improvisation ensemble 242.pilots. He is also the author of Auvi, a software environment for creating custom real-time video programs. (http://auv-i.de)
