2011 Boston Cyberarts Festival - Music and Technology Intersect
Local and internationally acclaimed artists participate
Boston, MA - Exploring the creative and cultural potential in the convergence of
music, sound and technology, six organizations - Beat Research, Boston Sculptors
Gallery, Brandeis University, CyberartsCentral at Atlantic Wharf, The Get Together
Festival and New England Conservatory - are presenting concerts and events as part
of the 2011 Boston Cyberarts Festival at venues around Boston from April 22 to May
8.
"One of the distinctive features of the Boston Cyberarts Festival has always been
its inclusiveness," said Festival Founder and Director George Fifield. "From the
beginning we have sought out events and exhibitions in all art forms, including
not just visual art but a variety of performing arts as well." Here's a complete
list of the 2011 music offerings:
The "Get Together"
The premiere daytime event of the Get Together Festival is a six-hour celebration
combining a vinyl record fair, installations and performances by local artists,
a fashion experience, and music software and hardware developers. All together,
the "Get Together" paints a holistic portrait of electronic music culture outside
the club.
Vinyl sellers of old and new school-including Jamaica plain's Tres Gatos and Drum
& Bass overlords Trainspotters-combine with technology tables from Shapemix Software
and M- Work Mastering. Also on view: T-shirt and art vendors Pen Cap Chew, jewelry
designer Yukineko, the Boston Music Coalition and Conscious Minds Ink, and many
more. The fashion component returns bigger and badder with designers Deconize, Lady
Charlie Lamb and Tess Aquarium turning the room into a fashion-forward lively art
party. Musically it ends up with a performance from Boston's premier live/electronic
dance club duo Spf-5000.

music" weekly called Beat Research. This year they have invited multimedia artist

Cyberarts at Beat Research Part 2: Robotkid and Pajaritos
The dynamic duo of Pajaritos (DJ Riobamba aka Sara Skolnick and DJ Malagón aka Ernesto
D. Morales) bring their laptops to Beat Research, filled to the brim with tasty
beats disco/tropical/cumbia/sabor latino etc. Beat Research also welcomes Robotkid

in Boston. From his ground breaking synchcore band Institute of Technology in the
mid 90s to his current role as creative director at Hamonix Music Systems (the video

exploring the ways that moving images can be manipulated live and used to inspire
and entertain. Using multiple projectors, he will drop fun layered imagery over
Pajaritos beats as well as rocking his own solo audio/visual performance.

The Boston Cyberarts Festival, launched by George Fifield in 1999 with seed funding
from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, is the only Festival in the world that
features all art forms, including both visual and performing arts, film, video,
electronic literature, public art, and web art. The 2011 Festival takes place April
22-May 8, 2011, at museums, galleries, performing spaces, educational institutions,
and on the web. Complete information, including a searchable database of the more
than 50 events and exhibitions, is available at www.bostoncyberarts.org/festival.
Cyberart encompasses any artistic endeavor in which computer technology is used
to expand artistic possibilities - that is, where the computer's unique capabilities
are integral elements of the creative process in the same way that paint, photographic
film, musical instruments, and other materials have always been used to express
an artist's vision.

Cyberarts at Beat Research Part 2: Robotkid and Pajaritos
The dynamic duo of Pajaritos (DJ Riobamba aka Sara Skolnick and DJ Malagón aka Ernesto
D. Morales) bring their laptops to Beat Research, filled to the brim with tasty
beats disco/tropical/cumbia/sabor latino etc. Beat Research also welcomes Robotkid
(aka Josh Randall) one of the first artists to combine live video and dance beats
in Boston. From his ground breaking synchcore band Institute of Technology in the
mid 90s to his current role as creative director at Hamonix Music Systems (the video
game studio responsible for "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band",) Josh has always been
exploring the ways that moving images can be manipulated live and used to inspire
and entertain. Using multiple projectors, he will drop fun layered imagery over
Pajaritos beats as well as rocking his own solo audio/visual performance.

The Boston Cyberarts Festival, launched by George Fifield in 1999 with seed funding
from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, is the only Festival in the world that
features all art forms, including both visual and performing arts, film, video,
electronic literature, public art, and web art. The 2011 Festival takes place April
22-May 8, 2011, at museums, galleries, performing spaces, educational institutions,
and on the web. Complete information, including a searchable database of the more
than 50 events and exhibitions, is available at www.bostoncyberarts.org/festival.
Cyberart encompasses any artistic endeavor in which computer technology is used
to expand artistic possibilities - that is, where the computer's unique capabilities
are integral elements of the creative process in the same way that paint, photographic
film, musical instruments, and other materials have always been used to express
an artist's vision.
