                        CAROLE KIM is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on live video performance and performance-based video installation. She explores video for its most tactile, expressive and responsive potential as a live medium. Kim is interested in the experiential impact of emergent technologies and their metaphorical potential. She seeks an integration of media where moving image, sound, dance and space are on equal planes engaging in a dynamic reciprocating and mutually supportive dialogue. Kim's installations are hybrid spaces in which the illusory and actual (i.e. mediated and live) merge together in an "other worldly" environment. Her work has been supported by the Irvine Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Durfee Foundation, REDCAT, University of California Institute for Research in the Arts, the Getty Center, The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound ( SASSAS), Newtown, Turbulence.org, California Institute of the Arts, and the Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology. (Please see www.carolekim.com)

                        CARMINA ESCOBAR is a singer and multimedia artist from Mexico City exploring a diversity of sonorous languages such as contemporary music, opera, medieval music, folk music, electronic music and experimental trends involving interdisciplinary collaborations and multimedia. As a soloist she has performed concerts of contemporary repertoire for solo voice, the premieres of works by young composers and performances of her own compositions. She has appeared in diverse forums and festivals all around the Mexican Republic, USA and Europe collaborating with artists of diverse disciplines and backgrounds as Thollem McDonas, ROVA saxophone quartet, Vinny Golia, Carole Kim, Theresa Wong, Mia Makela, Don McLeod, Denis Kolokol, Partch Ensemble, Estamos Ensemble, Ricardo Castillo, Fernando Vigueras, Esteban Montes, David Attie, Rebecca Levy, Apeiron Teatro, among many others. As an active improviser, in a solo context as in a group context, she utilizes real-time vocal processing and the use of concrète elements through electronic media.
