Composer, performer, and sound installation artist Laetitia Sonami combines text, music and "found sound" from the world, in compositions which have been described as "performance novels. Her signature instrument, the Lady's Glove, tracks the slightest motion of ngers, hand, and arm: through its use, Sonami can create performances where those tiny movements shape the music and environment. Born in France, Sonami moved to the United States in 1975 and lives in Oakland, California. She is guest lecturer at the San Francisco Art Institute and the Milton Avery MFA program at Bard College.

SUE.C is a visual and performing artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her works challenge the norms of photography, video, and technology by blending them all into an organic and improvisational live performance setting. Employing a variety of digital tools to create an experimental animation "instrument," she synthesizes cinema from photographs, drawings, watercolors, hand-made papers, fabrics and miniature interactive lighting eects. She employs the same techniques in her recorded work to emphasize the beauty of the banal street corner, public parking lot, forgotten winter beach, torn remnant of a found photograph, cast-away super 8 vacation footage, and other half-forgotten, often-unnoticed, in-between spaces in her surroundings. She currently teaches "Math & Media" at the California College of Arts (CCA) in Oakland.
