As the digital world has taken over more and more aspects of human life, human bodies and the ways they interact have become mediated by digital processes. Cyborg//HYPERMEAT seeks to explore the ways in which digital technologies process and display the human form and the inherent distortion, objectification, and obfuscation that is embedded in those processes. In striving for the idyllic 21st-century figure of the Cyborg, we discount and ignore the intrinsic fleshy power of the body. Through performance, installation, and other mediums, Pixel Mouth Collective (Tench Cholnoky, Magali A Cult, and A. Kazal) are attempting to uncover and understand the digital mediations that take place between our bodies every day.
Hita N A
Currently based in NYC, Hita N A is an up-and-coming 22-year-old multidisciplinary artist, vocalist, and music producer aiming to humanize and recreate the Self through a multi-cultural-Franken-genre repertoire and a computer. Their first double-single, “Goru” featuring “A feather,” extracts a dichotomy of their distorted identity as a Bangladeshi-American in these soundscapes. “Laptop mic,” a debut album, releases on December 2nd, 2022; the album has been made only with a laptop + laptop mic. They plan to further explore how to use lo-fi technologies in making projects that disseminate modern production standards.

Besomethingsoft and KĀ
Besomethingsoft and KĀ converge in creation. Malleable entities clash with the authority of machines as a portal opens into a distorted realm of frequency. Ancestral drums and polyrhythmic patterns are re-contextualized in a void of reverberating energy - this howling echoes ancient akashic memory. This is a journey from the seeds of creation to the implosion - cycles of rebirth soaked in primal noise. A calling to move forward, scan backwards, and bathe in the electricity.
