About the artists:

VICKI BE WICKED

Vicki is a VJ (Video Jockey)/digital artist from Durham, NC. She works with digital software that allows me to create and perform reactive live visuals. She began exploring digital art about 12 years ago teaching herself 3D modeling and animation. Through her work, she explores the link between technology and artistry, where she crafts dynamic visuals that enhance and elevate live music events. She aims to immerse audiences in a multisensory journey that challenges perception, sparks imagination, and fosters a shared sense of wonder.

CRYSTAL BETH ART

Inspired by the sounds of experimental bass and deep dub, Crystal Beth (aka Bethany Salapek) supplements traditional design with cutting edge programming to create one of a kind visual art. That is not an exaggeration, as each visual, installation, or graphic responds differently to its environment through interactivity with music or an audience. This technology combined with her style creates an immersive, mind bending visual performance that truly can only be experienced live, unifying her art with the experimental nature of the music that inspires her.

Currently, Beth works alongside Knob Ross as Creative Co-Director of Night Therapy, creating interactive art installations and visual performances for Night Therapy events. You can find her performing around North Carolina, as well as designing graphics and working production with Incendia.

PAMLICO

Pamlico is the solo experimental music project of music producer Kyle Schneider.
