Sandin Exhibition

Evening Performance on Wednesday June 6th

Produced by the Institute for Electronic Arts @ Alfred University

Roulette will host an exhibition of video synthesizers from the  
Sandin Image processor to current computer-based systems presented by  
The Institute for Electronic Art in cooperation with the School of  
Art and Design at Alfred University .   Visitors will be able to  
manipulate images and sounds using a hand built Sandine Image  
Processor, Wobbulator, and Jitter inteactive system. On Wednesday  
evening June 6 th there will be solo and duo concerts by Stephen  
Vitiello, Andrew Deutsch, Sawako Kato (from Tokyo) Tammy Bracket and  
Peer Bode (via cellphone from China).

The Institute for Electronic Arts is a high technological research  
studio facility within the New York State College of Ceramics at  
Alfred University, NY. The IEA encourages and supports projects that  
involve interactive multi-media systems, experimental sonic/video  
production, digital imaging, and publications. The IEA is committed  
to developing cultural interactions spurred by technological  
experimentation and artistic investigations.

Sawako Kato is a Tokyo/NYC-based timeline based artist and sound  
sculptor who creates the digital nostalgic world using technologies.  
Once through the processor named Sawako, elements in everyday life  
float in space vividly with a digital yet organic texture. Her unique  
sonic world has been called "post romantic sound" by Boston's Weekly  
Dig. For these 5 years, Sawako did more than 80 live performances in  
Japan, USA, Paris and London, and last year her 2nd album "hum" was  
released from NY based minimal label, 12k. Sawako's website:

Tammy Renée Brackett received a BA in fine arts from Alfred  
University in Alfred, N.Y. in 2003 and an MFA in Electronic  
Integrated Art from the School of Art and Design at Alfred University  
in 2006. Critiques of the impact of scientific "breakthroughs" on  
identity formation inform Brackett's work. Using new and traditional  
artistic media, she explores the factors that contribute to the  
invention of new identities and the overlapping fluid structures  
behind them. Brackett's recent work uses scientific data, such as the  
Map of the Human Genome, brainwave biofeedback, and DNA frequencies,  
as elements in her musical compositions and surround-sound  
installations. Brackett has exhibited in Japan, Croatia, Hungary, and  
the United States. She has been awarded the 2005 College Art  
Association Professional Development Fellowship for Visual Artists,  
funded by the NEA, and is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in  
Expanded Media at Alfred University's School of Art and Design.

Peer Bode is a nationally and internationally exhibiting artist with  
media works in museum collections world-wide. He is also an active  
educator and studio advocate and facilitator of independent  
electronic media. He is associated with the renowned American Alfred  
and Owego schools of new media imaging. He is Professor of Video Arts  
at the School of Art and Design and Co-Founder and Co-Director of the  
Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA), NYSCC at Alfred University in  
Alfred, NY. His work is produced at the IEA, Alfred NY; the  
Experimental Television Center, Owego, NY and Pep Studios, Hornell  
and Rochester, NY.

About the Sandin

The Dan Sandin Image Processor, or "IP," is an analog video processor  
with video signals sent through processing modules that route to an  
output color encoder. The IP's most unique attribute is its non- 
commercial philosophy, emphasizing a public access to processing  
methods and the machines that assist in generating the images. The IP  
was Sandin's electronic expression for a culture that would "learn to  
use High-Tech machines for personal, aesthetic, religious, intuitive,  
comprehensive, and exploratory growth." This educational goal was  
supplemented with a "distribution religion" that enabled video  
artists, and not-for-profit groups, to "roll-your-own" video  
synthesizer for only the cost of parts and the sweat and labor it  
took to build it. It was the "Heathkit" of video art tools, with a  
full building plan spelled out, including electronic schematics and  
mechanical assembly information. Tips on soldering, procuring  
electronic parts and Printed Circuit boards, were also included in  
the documentation, increasing the chances of successfully building a  
working version of the video synthesizer.
