Join us throughout the festival beginning Sat April 24, for a series of conversations with various participating Fusebox artists.  It’s a casual/fun way to get to know the artists and the thinking behind their work.  In conjunction with Culturebot.org (NYC), the conversations will last under an hour--we hope you can join us. 

SATURDAY, MAY 1st: CLOUD EYE CONTROL

Cloud Eye Control is a collaborative performance group from Los Angeles comprised of three members: Chi-wang Yang, Miwa Matreyek, and Anna Oxygen. We create original works that uniquely combine interactive media with live performance. Since our inception in 2004 we have created three original works that have been presented both nationally and internationally.

Whether through a re-imagining of Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight, the discovery of powerful crystals underground, or one woman's interstellar search for a new home, a common theme in our stories is human adaptation in a technological world. To realize these stories, we project pre-rendered animation and live camera imagery onto various surfaces on the stage, and this imagery functions as scenery and virtual actor. Both high and low tech methods are used to allow the live actor to interact with the media. These methods range from custom-built interactive video software to the physical manipulation of video puppets.
