(performance with LoVid VideoWear, 2003)
BIOGRAPHY:
LoVid is Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus. Using homemade
electronic devices and DIY sculptural instruments, LoVid overwhelms
the senses with new media in their performances, videos, objects,
and installations. LoVid has toured the US and Europe extensively
performing among many others at Eyebeam, Harvestworks, Boley, Max
Protetch, Eyedrum, NY Underground Film Festival, Look and Listen
Festival, Kraak(3) Festival , Lokaal01, Lumen, and Futuresonic
Festival. LoVid has exhibited among others at COCA Seattle, Sotheby's,
SOUTHFIRST, Happy Lion, Institute of Contemporary Art London, and
The New Museum of Contemporary Art. LoVid is currently artist in
residence at Eyebeam, has been selected as artist in residence
at Harvestworks and iEAR, has been nominated Free103Point9 transmission
artist, and has recently received a grant from NYSCA. A DVD of
LoVid recordings made during a residency at Experimental TV Center
has recently been released on CollectivEye.
STATEMENT:
LoVid processes electrical signal to make live audiovisuals where the mediums
intersect; the video is the music and the audio is the image. We are interested
in introducing inherent features of each medium into the other’s and
in circumventing limitations in any given medium by traversing to another.
Working with the constraints/freedoms and fragility/fundamentality of analog
technology, our videos and objects are conceived as traces from a parallel
civilization where media is tangible and emotional. LoVid’s projects
include engineering and manufacturing of analog video synthesizers, textile
design and patchwork of video stills transferred onto fabric, abstract audiovisual
compositions and recordings, live video performances, and mixed media installations.
