Headline Artist Bios
Android Jones
===========
Android Jones is an Electrical artist, For Android, art is a tool used to navigate reality and influence human consciousness. He has been heralded as “the apocalyptic art shaman”. His work is a hybrid of academic training, emerging technology and the mystical experience, bringing together a mixture of archetypal mythology and spirituality.
Android is a co-founder of CONCEPTART.org and has worked as the creative director and co-founder of Massive Black. Android has used this internet portal to launch a series of highly acclaimed art workshops, and has traveled the world teaching art to students. With
work featured on the box cover of the newly released Corel Painter X, he is a leader in the digital fine art community, and works closely with the developers of emerging digital technology to create software that gives artists new tools to create their dreams. Most recently, Andrew began performing live on-stage as a digital painter, touring with
underground DJs and bands. A master of the digital art medium, Andrew continues to push the limits of what's possible with the manipulation of light and energy and is on the front line of innovation as he creates masterpieces live, onstage. In Andrews Live painting he searches to capture the invisible energetic elements of life that no photo or video
camera are capable of reflecting.
Android has designed and built large-scale interactive installations at international events like Boom Festival and Burning Man that have held a creative container for tens of thousands of people. In 2011 Android had the honor of projecting live art on both the exterior and interior of the Sydney Opera House. His performance was broadcast live to millions of viewers. Today Android tours, performs and teaches as a digital art evangelist and cartographer, helping shape new creative pathways for humanity.
Daniel Mirante
===========
Daniel Mirante has been wandering the wilderness of the imagination for 34 years. He is fascinated with the exploration of mysticism, deep ecology, mythology, and creativity. His art and writing have appeared worldwide in a variety of publications, websites, exhibitions and calendars.
His activity encompasses several interconnecting spheres, from a personal art/alchemy practice outward to the community through personal teaching and tuition and into the global sphere through numerous internet creations.
Pha-Droid
===========
The Phadroid experience is a combination of software, hardware and heart-ware that enables projected visuals to organically tune into the fluidity of motion created on stage. The shapes, colours and images generated by visionary artist Android Jones accentuate and intuitively blend in with a multitude of intricate dance movements created on stage by his creative reality navigator and dancer, Phaedra Jones. As the experience unfolds the connection between the two artists becomes palpable, leaving people touched by living human potential.
“The most spectacular part of the evening surprisingly occurred between the two bands... the house projector allowed for Phaedra, who pairs with Jones to form “Phadroid”, to disappear and reappear in the images projected on the screen behind her, acrobatically moving with divine fluidity, only to then conjure an acrylic contact ball from her robes and manipulate it in a way that had me convinced Newton’s laws did not apply on stage that night.. With the now packed house standing perfectly still in amazement (including the staff), the power of the duo’s captivating live art was undeniable.”
(Arcata review, “Lost in Sound.org”)

Local Artist Lineup
Katia Honour
====
Katia Honour charts the co-creative relationships between the imaginal and physical, not as separate realms but as a majestic symbiosis. After lifelong esoteric, occult and shamanic trance practices, she became compelled to adopt oil paints and map the meeting places ‘between worlds”, where personal merges with myth, humans reveal their divinity and the Divine communes with humanity.
Visions arise within trance and yearn to take form, unveiling their mystery tauntingly as the artwork emerges. At times the vision is incomplete, so I use light trance, random techniques and scrying to invite the unforeseen elements.
Izwoz
====
Izwoz art is the work of Brad and Katie, a couple creative creatures currently living in a rainforest arts sanctuary in Northern New South Wales. They are mysterious creatures spending most of their time in creative flow, working on solo and collaborative projects, always learning and experimenting with new and novel ways to communicate through vision. Inspired by the technology of nature and the nature of technology, ancient myth, future prophecy and the collective transformation of earth species into new life. They journey the earth exploring, ever evolving and transforming, always in the process of becoming something new!

Sylph Aeon
====
I am a visionary artist. Through my works I echo my inter~dimensional experiences of the mystical and ethereal realms. Visionary, sacred and transcendental art can be used as a potent vehicle of expression. Like an arcane language whose tongue speaks in kaleidoscopic imagery, it can communicate the intangible; express the ineffable. Mystic art can reveal our most vulnerable shadows and humble humanities, and also embody our most beatific, divine, and sacred natures, in our quests for visionary consciousness expansion.
The images I create are crystallized from my interactions from varied states of being: visions, intuitions, sacred medicine journeys, energy activation and meditations, and dream states. Often times after a new experience or perspective, an image will present itself to me in a new form, with a different frequency, revealing previously unseen messages that were lying latent within the original drawing. They can be viewed as vectors, portals, for blissful contemplation, consciousness activation, and most importantly, the viewers’ own sacred journeys within the works.
Daniel Schreiber
====
Dan is a professional photographer, videographer and multimedia producer. A self-taught herbal healer, ecologist and landscape gardener with a forte for creative direction and vision.
I love Tea, bamboo, lotus, nature, people, water, architecture, the sun and open minds.
I am passionate about the beauty of the natural world and structure my work around nurturing the possibilities of harmonic systems that enable individuals, communities and nature to all benefit and flourish. I strive to design and create life affirming systems that have the strength and flexibility of bamboo married with the beauty of a sacred lotus and are designed to mimic nature, supplying abundance, biodiversity and balance while nurturing co-creative, healing and loving relationships and people. By following this practice I hope to inspire, humility, appreciation, gratitude and love.
Anna Kumashov

Patterns and symbols are found across most cultures and religions, in their stories, mythologies and iconography. Understanding the human interpretation and the connection that all of these earthly manifestations have to the cosmic world are of particular interest. The meaning and significance of all symbols and patterns found in the ancient civilizations are just as relevant to people today in the modern world. We are attracted to the same patterns, the same symbols and studying and having a close relationship to this is what gives it the term Sacred.
I have been creating this art for over 5 years and it began with my reconnection to the spiral. It has taken me on a very beautiful journey transforming my view on life, and given me the most amazing experiences. The Flower of Life has also proven to be one of the most sacred symbols I have worked with and its connection to the ancient and modern world is very profound and a wonder to be discovered. Please contact me if you have any questions. I am happy to share my experiences and will be producing a book to relate the stories that I feel need to be shared with people who are also on the journey of a life time.

Jayarama Bryan
====
My work is an interpretation of my inner reality as it relates to my experiences often encapsulated in symbolism, movement and concept. These notional dream states have offered me a way to visit and revisit certain places and spaces - portals one could say. Their content is usually abstracted, but with a core energetic principle that hosts its method of manifestation. I have always gained alot pleasure from being creative in this manner and I hope that my excursions have brought something enjoyable for you too.
Lewis Smart
========
Lewis Smart is inspired by meditative, dream, trance and psychedelic spaces and expresses what he finds there through various mediums, primarily digital painting and drawing. He has an intimate bond with the local electronic music scene and his work is propelled by and seeks to explore that realm. So far Lewis' work has been largely visual, but in future you can expect to see him become more multimedial as he begins to implement installation, music, creative writing and social experimentation into his process.

Mad Betty
====
My visual creations have stemmed from a fascination with highly detailed portraiture. An interest with the nuances of character and internal dichotomies led me beyond the visage of the face and figure, to find that there is a light which radiates from our very DNA, and also a shadow. Delving into the veins of a globe full of bloodlines, I have found a whole human history dripping with symbols, mandalas, numbers, textiles, medicines. We are the psycho-spiritual mapmakers. We have reflected the great mysteries of the dreaming mind and woven forms and words, materialized from the great mirage of fevered states and trance and grace.
Pixielogix
====
Pixelogix is an animation and interactive media design studio run by Gav Seed. Gav has a long history working and lecturing in digital media production. He has also been very active in many art and music festivals throughout the country conducting workshops, installations and live performances.

Paul Abad
======
I make digital art as an attempt to crystalise and outwardly express my visions and moments of deep integration. My main inspirations are sacred geometry, entheogens, op art, computer programming and the science of perception, and i attempt to bring these strands together in my work. Sometimes it is a semi-autonomous process .. working with code allows me to dabble with handing over part of the process to chance. Code and sacred geometry are the language of creation. My work is an evolving experiment.
