PELLYVISION is a monthly cohesion of sound and vision. Each episode features a musical performance and selections from a different artist, which Alex Pelly visually accompanies by synthesizing live audio reactive video using a modular synthesizer and other analog technology.

Nephila explores, celebrates and reconciles with life’s natural courses that connect all things, and their effects on the human mind. This is the solo project of Shannon A. Kennedy of Pedestrian Deposit, who is a prolific experimental theater artist, designer, musician and performance artist. Her broad range of artistic disciplines coalesce in her work as Nephila. The work examines the points where science, mythology and the human psyche intersect through voiceless, abstract narration. The sculptural instruments she builds out of natural and decayed materials, often function as set pieces, and are activated through movement to make abstract, textural sounds.

Alex Pelly is a Canadian video artist based in LA whose work incorporates multiple generations of video technology, both analog and digital. In recent years, her process has been centered on modular video synthesis. Frequently collaborative with musical accompaniment, her visuals serve as a reflection of and muse to the music simultaneously. She provides live visuals and installation work for various shows, music nights and art happenings around Los Angeles.
