C I N E M A . A V (US/DE)
Evan Henry was introduced in 2015 to video circuit bending and once-obsolete video electronics. Using these pieces in a live performance setting was always the goal. He began with Tachyons+, VCRs, and video mixers. That soon progressed into buying a used standalone video synthesizer, building its expanders, and just over a year later, adding the LZX line of DIY Eurorack modules, for a cross-pollination of analog, digital, and oscillographic processes.
In 2018, Henry joined Ghostly Intl.’s Steve Hauschildt on a tour through United States’ East Coast and Canada. In 2019, he became the resident visual artist for Proton Limited in Dallas, Texas. In 2021, Henry expanded his visions forward to Europe – Berlin in particular. His work extends itself to instant and 35 mm film renderings and has appeared in galleries and pop-ups throughout North Texas and, post-pandemic, into Europe and the United Kingdom. The result is an infinitely growing body of work that, in the last few years, has expanded itself into largely digital dimensions in Resolume Arena and Max/MSP.

His pieces, exhibited across Europe and the United States, are characterized by a profound interest in dualism and balance. His work centers on the intricate relationship between time, movementand space. He also explores the intersection of art and science, particularly the interaction between object, space, viewer, and the influence of context on interpretation. He experiments with various rhythms and applies Gestalt principles, making his work an exploration of perception and duality.
Acidic Male: As a visual artist and writer, Puck Schot felt the need to express a more direct voice through poetry. Curious about electronic music, she began experimenting with noise, violent poetry, and distorted drum samples in 2019 as Acidic Male. That same year, she collaborated with RJM Vanderheyden as ‘Vot’ress,’ combining harsh noise with nature sounds and Shakespearean texts. Since then, she has been drawn to industrial sounds, hypnotic drum patterns, and experimental vocals. Her performer name serves as a form of revenge, allowing her to position herself as a manipulator, perpetrating against the listener through the duality of softness and harshness within violent sounds and poetry. Yet, ultimately, her work reveals her own vulnerabilities, exposing her confessions, memories, and hauntologies. Inspired by the abject, she performs a kind of self-division,
laying herself bare before the audience.

BeBab (DE)
My artistic work focuses on dreams of a future that is sometimes already the past. It seems to be a fine line between memory and invention. Central is the theme of identity, which seems to be in a constant state of change. Because of the fluid volatility of identity, I approach the subject through the dream levels. Since 2017, I regularly perform live video projections in the VJ Open Lab at the Spektrum in Berlin-Kreuzberg (art–science–community) with the collective Trial-and-Theresa – firehousesessions. BeBab studied philosophy and cinema, at Munich University (LMU) with a degree thesis entitled Federico Fellini: the clown as a shape at the border between life and death. She is a visual artist, film editor, live video performer in the field of live cinema. Her videos, installations and projections were shown at the festivals and reviews, including Documenta X, Kassel and Venice Biennale 2000.
