LiveBox is thrilled to announce Eric Souther's Residency June 2013

Souther’s interests lie in the materialization of digital aesthetics and the ritualistic spaces of media: the masks of media, the myths of media, and how they change the way we perceive our world. Souther creates custom software to manipulate audio and video in real-time, actualizing a space of unpredictability allowing him to open up a conversation surrounding the coded illusions of visual culture. He looks beyond the seductive qualities of the image by actively breaking, hacking, and processing the image in order to understand the subliminal codes driving representation in the 21st century.

LiveBox is thrilled to announce Sonja Hinrichsen Return Residency January 2014

“Snow Drawings” is an ongoing project where Hinrichsen “draws”, in collaboration with local communities, large designs in the winter environment. Crystal Lake and its nearby park reserve provides an ideal “canvas” for “Snow Drawings”.

Sonja began the project in winter 2009 during an artist residency in Snowmass Village in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Her 2012 “Snow Drawings” at Rabbit Ears Pass Colorado Mountains (near Steamboat Springs) received significant press; including articles in SOMA Magazine, TRACCE (Italian Archeology Magazine), and a Chinese Art Magazine. The project was featured on NPR, MSNBC, The Discovery Channel, public TV Tokyo, and her aerial photographic prints and video documenting “Snow Drawings” events have been exhibited in California and Europe.

Hinrichsen’s artwork examines urban, industrial and natural environments. She is interested in the intersection between place (city or nature) and human perception and utilization thereof, throughout history. Some of her works rely on photo-and video mappings, sound recordings. Hinrichsen is especially drawn to environments that may seem inhospitable, such as wastelands, deserts, high mountains and snow/ice landscapes.

Mythology and local legends play a particular role in her research, as they bear invaluable information about places and how people(s) have lived in and with them in past eras. Despite an overall documentary character, these projects have a very personal focus, as they draw from her experiences and perceptions, and often involve local communities in the art process.
