"We want to thank our patrons for your incredible support
over the past few months by throwing the kind of party you would
only expect from Monkey Town. Earlier this autumn, we were threatened
with the real possibility of having to close our doors, but the
efforts of the New York artists community have kept us afloat.
We are not out of the red yet. With winter's dawning, we envision
a prosperous future at Monkey Town, and want to celebrate it with
you." -- Monkey Town HQ
MY
ROBOT FRIEND
My Robot Friend is the over-the-top project of Howard Robot, whose
live performances mesmerize with quirky technopop, computer animations,
general "new media" topsy-turveydom, and his legendary
costume, an interactive suit of blinking and whirring L.E.D. lights
and electroluminescent wire. A musical homage to new wave acts
like Devo, his records have charted in Germany, he has been short-listed
in Rolling Stone magazine, and his song "We're the Pet Shop
Boys" was actually covered by the Pet Shop Boys (and more
recently/absurdly, Robbie Williams!). Playing out social stereotypes
of robots, My Robot Friend humorously enables his audience to
consider how technology interacts with human emotion as evoked
in popular song: alienation, angst, and most importantly, love.

is an artist and inventor of technologies that push the boundaries
of expression in new media, fully exploring the synesthetic potential
of time based art to unleash his audience's imagination.

DYNASTY
HANDBAG
The one-woman tour-de-force performance of Jibz Cameron, who takes
the most absurd banalities of life and exaggerates them into a
side-splitting philosophic rant involving music, video, as well
as an aerobics routine or two...
