Candystations
New York, NY
 Deborah Johnson, aka CandyStations, is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NY. She primarily designs and performs live visual projections, working with groups such as Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, Calexico, M. Ward, and Lambchop in such venues as Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Fillmore, The Ryman, and Wiener Konzerthaus.
She also exhibits worldwide in group and solo shows, participates in film festivals (most recently the Olympia Experimental Music Festival), designs projections for special events and performs both as a solo VJ and with other artists and musicians.
In January of 2008 she worked with Truckstop Media’s Braden King and musician Shahzad Ismaily on an installation and performance as part of Sundance Festival's New Frontiers on Main. Later that year she attended the Digital Media Residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, where she worked and performed along with German audio / visual artist Carsten Nicolai. This spring she collaborated with musician Ben Vida (Town & Country, Birdshow) and artist Siebren Versteeg, performing experimental audio and video (results of a residency at the Experimental Television Center) at the multi-media venue Monkey Town and The Bell House in Brooklyn.
This September she will exhibit a music video installation in collaboration with Rebecca Gates (The Spinanes) at AC [Direct Chapel] in New York.
Deborah is currently a Visiting Professor at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and will be pursuing a Masters of Science in Integrated Digital Media at NYUPoly in the fall. She is often but mistakenly regarded as some kind of hardass by people who don't see her trip over her own shadow or come completely undone in the face of fairy penguins in sweaters.
