“I’m here to prototype a new medium for creating a shared direct experience. It’s a combination of Android Jones artwork and live visuals, synched with 3D sound, and a style of performance. It’s an identity reflection tool. It slows down time through movement, and it enters into different archetypes very fluidly. All the unsaids, unfelts, and unheards get processed in the same way. It’s a collective catharsis.”

“I’m a producer and a DJ. I work with everything from deep house, to moombahton, to hardstyle, psytrance, jungle terror and latin tech house. I make sure each genre is very funky. I’ve been a dancer my whole life. I started producing mixes for my dance team and other dance teams. If I can’t dance to it, I’m not going to play it.”

“I learned that it’s possible for a woman to travel by herself. I was told for so many years that girls can’t travel alone. I was determined to prove a different story. I’ve been testing my power and what I can do to create my reality. I work on attracting positive people into my life, and it’s usually what I get. It really shows me how connected we are when we try to reach out. When you physically put yourself in another country, two things can happen: you can feel lost, fearful and alone, or you can feel beautiful, grateful and alive. You attract what you bring into your life.”

“I’m moving to Oregon to set up a permaculture garden. In Utah, I lived next to two acres that were irrigated by the city. There was nothing there but dirt and weeds. I cut it all down, put in perfect beds and turned it into a Garden of Eden. I grew 7,800 pounds of food and gave it all to the neighbors for free. Friends, family, everyone. And that made me the happiest I’ve ever been.”

“When I started expressing my opinions, I had a lot of anxiety. I would absorb creativity from everyone I came across, but the expression of self wasn’t quite there. And then I had the realization that I wasn’t putting myself out there. I wanted to start connecting with people on a different level. My own creations have been interactions within the social community, and that is more tangibly rooted in a deeper self than anything else. My artistic passion is helping people spread their art. Art is medicine. We’re all creators in our own way.”

“We’re made of the Earth, and we come from the Earth. Natural medicine brings our body back into balance with nature. It’s about honoring and respecting this vehicle for our spirit. This is our only home here, and when we feel amazing in this body, our purpose is clear.”
