Mr. Fang Mr. Fang
Artificial Music Machine
Austin, TX

Thomas Fang is a DJ who explores musical territory ranging from ambient and trance to industrial and power electronics. Though fond of dark soundscapes, he also enjoys the melodic possibilities of "intelligent dance music." Originally from Washington, D.C., Thomas received his B.A. in Geography from the University of Texas. After hosting a show on KVRX (91.7 fm) during his student days in 1998, Mr. Fang found a better outlet for his expression at Radio One Austin, an unlicensed community radio ... More >>

 Navi_Cat Navi_Cat
Artificial Music Machine
Austin, TX

Adrienne always had a more extreme obsession with music than the rest of her family, so it was only natural that she kept acquiring more and more of it until she, inevitably, started forcing it on all of her friends. A bunch of them left, but the ones who put up with it were the people that cheered her on when Syngeneic Radio came into existence at Radio One Austin (an unlicensed community station). She regaled audiences, comprised of her 3 remaining friends, with electronic music rangi... More >>

Agent Webb Agent Webb
Austin, TX

Playing other people's music for nearly a decade, Jonathan "The Agent" Webb has performed on radio, in clubs, and at concerts all over the United States, as well as abroad. Though his music tastes are broad, Jonathan is probably most known for his sets as an industrial and noise DJ (and locally as co-dj to Richard Bailey at Mojo's Daily Grind over the past year). For this performance Agent Webb will be providing a mix of dark techno, electro, and hip-hop.

Flower Garden
Projection Installation

A diversity of flowers bump and bustle as if the wall were the surface of a pond. Over time they fade and die, unless you encourage them with light... a flashlight hangs from the ceiling for this purpose. Give a flower enough light and it will burst into children flowers. Most of these children will be similar, but not identical, to the parent; others will be wild mutants. Over time, the garden grows and adapts to your taste and mood.

Zack Simpson's interest in interactivity was inherited from his mother who was a children's playground designer. He started playing video games as soon as there were such things and started programming at the age of 10. He dropped out of high-school at 17 to become a full-time software engineer. In 1991 he join Origin/Electronic Arts and left there in 1995 as the Director of Technology and later returned as a Research Fellow. In 1995 he co-founded Titanic Entertainment which hit an iceberg after... More >>
