Eve Essex is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, NY. She performs with woodwinds and voice, accompanied by instrumental ensembles, and by electronic arrangements that use synthesizers, drum machines, live processing, and other sounds.

James Hoff is an artist living and working in New York. His work encompasses a variety of media, including sound, video, painting, and publishing.

Hoff’s multidisciplinary approach begins at the user level—the level at which we interact with consumer technologies, media, and data. He has worked with computer viruses, inaudible data signals, ear worms, culture bound illnesses, dead zones, and hacked google maps as tools and framing devices for works that reimagine and expand the creative potential of digital and cultural networks beyond their economic and corporate-engineered use value.

By exploiting and manufacturing technological and cognitive glitches, Hoff illuminates the social, political, and historical context of the software and media that we interact with on a daily basis.

Hoff co-founded Primary Information in 2006 to publish historical and contemporary artists’ books. The organization has published hundreds of titles, including facsimile editions of Art-Rite, Broken Music, Black Art Notes, Cornelius Cardew’s Stockhausen Serves Imperialism, Godzilla: Asian American Art Network, The New Woman’s Survival Catalog, and Womens Work as well as new works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, DeForrest Brown Jr, Tony Conrad, Dara Birnbaum, Constance DeJong, Alexandro Segade, Martine Syms, and Flora Yin-Wong, among many others.

Asif Mian’s art practice explores how events are perceived, processed, and passed on. Asif Mian has devoted much of his career—via video, installation, performance, and sculpture—to investigating the tenuous connections between the events that shape one’s life. Informed by science, mythology, and transcendentalism, Mian's breaking down and rearranging of medium evokes a liminal psychological space, where the “ghosts” of events and the mental processing of violence reside.

Mian earned a BS Genetics & BA Studio Art from Drew University, and an MFA from Columbia University (2018). He has a decade’s experience as a director of music videos, advertisements, and short films. Mian has participated in residencies at Skowhegan, Maine, MacDowell Colony, Vermont, LMCC Workspace, NYC, and AZ West with Andrea Zettel, Joshua Tree, California. His solo exhibits have been featured in Art Forum, Artnet, Art Observer, and The Dallas News.

Awarded the Queens Museum-Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artist, Mian’s multi-chapter project, ‘RAF’, was the focus of a solo exhibit at Queens Museum. Mian exhibited at The Kitchen for the Whitney ISP curatorial exhibit, The Shed: Open Call, BRIC, and Queens Museum International: Volumes.

Recently, Mian was an Artadia Award finalist, received the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Award, and participated in the Okayama Art Summit curated by Rirkrit Tiravanija.

GENG PTP is a Manhattan-born, Queens NYC-based sound practitioner (producer, poet/vocalist, sound engineer, DJ), educator, archivist, visual designer, organizer, and physical trainer. With 3+ decades of participatory roots in NYC's underground music/DIY communities, he has been making work through a multitude of solo and collaborative processes. Most currently, he performs as KING VISION ULTRA (est. 2017), a channeling project considering memory and voice as quantum weaponry in relation to honoring/making/taking space, the archive (remembrance), and protecting the spirit. In January 2023, he released his fourth album as KVU, 'SHOOK WORLD,' featuring 16 collaborators + Algiers (Atlanta, GA). He also makes up half of Centenny Gz, a duo with Dreamcrusher.

GENG's organizing and coalition work expands to the visionary collective and label, PTP (Protect The Peace / Purple Tape Pedigree), which he established in 2009. As "counter-industrial purveyors of weaponized media," PTP stands to create space for us.
