Tycho
Websites
Bio
Tycho is the music project of San Francisco based artist and producer Scott Hansen. As Tycho, Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend off into the horizon. Known in the design world as ISO50, Hansen's bucolic, sun-drenched design style serves as a backdrop for the music which so closely echoes his visual sentiments.

Bio
???What tense should this be in???
I was born in Napa, CA in 1977. I received my BA in Computer/Intermedia Art from San Francisco State University in 2001. I spent several years working as a computer programmer and composing electronic music before moving to New York in 2003. I received my MFA at the International Center of Photography/Bard in 2007. I have shown work in group and solo exhibitions in NYC and around the US. Most recently my work was featured in A New High in Getting Low (NYC), at John Connelly Presents in New York.
My work is grounded in the belief that perceptual, ecological, technological and semantic systems are woven together in nearly impenetrable complexity. In my photos abstract forms disrupt the illusion of depth, consciously situating the viewer in photographic and real space simultaneously. Natural forms (shells, horizons) simulate infinitude while manmade forms (the husk of a firework, a dolphin costume, a period) reveal slippage between sensory, semantic and political formations. All of this is cloaked in the tragicomic — a mode of expression I find most helpful when contemplating the boundaries of our existence.
Project Summary
Period (Comic Sans) is a large inkjet print (mounted on foamcore/cintra) of the period character from the Comic Sans font. The large, high contrast oval quickly fatigues the optic nerves creating a blurring and overlapping of afterimages over the initial image. A life, like a sentence or a wave, has a period, a duration. At the outside of this duration we find the unknown and, often, the tragicomic.
$2500. It's a 40"x40" inkjet print on foamcore/cintra with a wooden mount on the back, edition of 3.
???Please add 1 sentence.???
A Period A full stop or period (sometimes stop, full point or dot), is the punctuation mark commonly placed at the end of several different types of sentences in English and many other languages. A full stop consists of a small dot placed at the end of a line of text, such as at the end of this sentence.
Period can also refer to a time interval, during which an event or sequence of events occurs. A nanosecond, a minute, a day, a life.
A period is an end. A period is a life.
In Period (Comic Sans), I printed a very large period (40”). I used the font called Comic Sans. It’s got a wobbly period. It’s slightly oval. In the piece it becomes a gaping void. It’s big and scary to look into. The edges vibrate as your optic nerves fatigue.
It is against the nature of the living to understand death. We experience the presence of death as an absence, a negative space filled in by inferential habit. This is what I think about when I look at this period that is both an end and the time that an end contains.

Christopher Willits
Websites
Bio
(will tweak) Christopher Willits has been instrumental in redefining the guitar in the digital age. Using custom-built software, Willits morphs his guitar playing into warm folded rhythms of texture and melody. Named “the center cell of a complex indie rock-avant-garde-electronic art Venn diagram in the Bay Area” (San Francisco Bay Guardian), and “The Picasso of Sound” (Tokafi Magazine), Willits defies genre distinctions while still defining a sound of his own. His guitar lines fold and weave into each other creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture.
With over 15 music releases over the last 7 years, Willits's passion is obvious. 2006 marked the release of "Surf Boundaries" a critically acclaimed wash of Willits' guitars and vocal harmonies on the incandesent Ghostly International label. Every release sees Willits taking chances and expanding his creative vision. In addition to his solo work, a vast range of music collaborations, sound installations, and film/video projects compel him. His band project Flossin involves Zach Hill, Kid606, Nate Boyce, and Matmos, The North Valley Subconscious Orchestra is Willits and Brad Laner, formerly of Medicine. Other frequent collaborators include Scott Pagano, Taylor Deupree, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Willits' numerous releases and collaborative projects cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: Willits' unique approach to the guitar and sound.
Willits completed his Master's Degree in Electronic Music at Mills College where he studied with Pauline Oliveros and Fred Frith. At Mills he explored structure-generating processes in music; a focus not unfamiliar to former Mills affiliates John Cage and Steve Reich. Prior to Mills, Willits focused on painting, video art, sound art and music at the Kansas City Art Institute.
In addition to all of this, Willits founded and directs the emerging culture hub of releases, events, and sharing at Overlap.org.

Project Summary
- Title: The Nature Collection
- Price: $2000 - 4 dvds, no sound.
The Nature Collection is a multi-channel animated video installation. It was spawned from a longing for nature within city life and inspired by panoramic landscapes in traditional Japanese screen painting. The landscape is made up of projected video segments but is designed to work as a whole with elements such as cherry blossoms, animals, birds and clouds drifting from one screen to the next. Our lives no longer depend on living in harmony with nature, but ancestral fears and dependencies concerning nature remain in our collective unconscious. This installation illustrates romantic notions of nature in modern times.
The Nature Collection premiered in The Netherlands in April 2006 at a loft-style restaurant/art space called 11. (http://www.ilove11.nl) Housed in Amsterdam’s city center, 11 works in conjunction with the Stedlijk Contemporary Art Museum and has 12 screens down the length of its interior for projection. Later sound was experimented with and an updated version was shown in May 2006 in Brooklyn, New York at the infamous restaurant/video-art cinema, Monkeytown. (http://www.monkeytownhq.com) Monkeytown’s 4-screens which surround the viewer provided a more intimate experience of the work. A single channel of The Nature Collection also screened in June 2006 at BAPlab’s multimedia festival in Brooklyn, New York. -
