Roles in Archive: Artist

Maria del Carmen Montoya is a new media artist who works in sculpture, performance, and video. Her work explores the personal, emotional and utterly irrational tendencies of technology. Kevin Patton is a composer, scholar, and experimental sound performer whose music explores the intersections of composition, improvisation, technology, and the body. Their collaborative projects include WineBloodBloodLove, a performance and sound installation inside the Herman Nitsch retrospective at the Station Museum in Houston, TX; the creation of The Digital Poplar Consort, a family of handcrafted wireless musical instruments with which they use in concert performance; and most recently I Sky You, winner of a 2009 Rhizome Commission, an installation that sonifies the radiance of chemically synthesized light. It is inspired by the phrase Frida Kahlo used to describe infinite love: “I Sky You.”
