Holly Daggers, founder of FMT and EyeWash, is a video/media
artist and live-mix VJ based in New York City. Her innovative
use of audio and video has been showcased in theater and dance,
she has created interactive installation for the re-opening festivities
at MoMA: The Museum of Modern Art, and she has toured as a featured
onstage or opening visual artist with music acts Black Eyed Peas,
Busta Rhymes, and Fischerspooner.
VJ Exeris, also based in NYC, has performed around
the country for the last six years, beside the likes of Astral
Projection, Carl Cox, Josh Wink, Biz Markie and many others. He
has also spent the last decade as half of the industrial electronic
duo Mindless Faith, who not only have a track on the new X-box
360 video game PGR3, but also won a NIN remix contest in four
cities, with Trent Reznor himself saying, "it's better than
many mixes '’ve paid for!"
Chris Korda is the creator of Whorld, a software
that fuses two recent digital technologies: visualization, and
VJing. Whorld generates real-time animation of sacred geometry,
but the visualization is interactive and controlled by the artist(s)
as a live performance.
Missy Galore, the pleasure revolutionary
herself, graces us with a special request performance of "Fuzzy"
and more of art house vj rock. Check out the track on myspace.

about the artists:
Ben Neill and Bill Jones will
present their new XIX project for mutantrumpet, laptops and interactive
video, based on samples of 19th century music and art. XIX combines
ambient electronic sounds with Neill’s digitally equipped
mutantrumpet controlling both electronic music and video in real
time. John Conte on electric bass and Jim Mussen on drums add
deep, live grooves to the mix.
Eric Dunlap will present a new version of SPAZ
incorporating live video. In this visual performance the dancer
interacts with laser light to create a lightshow with his body
by breaking the beams of two lasers. Spaz plays along with DJ’s
and musicians, expressing and challenging the music with his qualities
of motion.
VJ Moto will perform a live-mix video set to
the music of Otto von Schirach. Moto is an EyeWash favorite, performing
earlier this year with us at the MoMA Family Festival. His character-based
visual work, both motion and still, has been exhibited extensively
in the US and Europe including the Whitney, the new Museum, the
Neuberger Museum of Art; and can be seen on the newly released
Pictoplasma - Characters in Motion DVD.
Long-time collaborators Adam Kendall
(video) and Vortex (music) are joined by Elise
Knudson (dance) for quartet of improvised audio, video
and dance. Working with a live camera and custom footage, acrobatics-inspird
movement, electro-acoustic instrumentation, and custom software,
the quartet will explore how the three mediums can interact and
influence each other in a live, spontaneous setting.
EyeWash is presented by Forward Motion Theater, Inc. a 501(c)3
non-profit organization since 2001, and is made possible with
public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State
agency.
