Hi! I'm Antonius. I like technology and the traditional arts.
I’ll be presenting several projects at the 13th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) on May 27-30, 2013, Daejeon + Seoul, Korea Republic.
I’ll be giving a demo of my thesis project, Gamelan Sampul, and then performing with fellow ITP graduate Johann Diedrick for his sound project, A Haunting, and also for my pants-slapping performance, Drop It Like It’s Crotch.
I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the finalists for Creative Capital’s grant program for 2013. Although I didn’t get chosen for funding, it was a great experience that forced me to be more confident about describing and promoting my work. And I can’t say enough nice things about Creative Capital’s organization.
In our ongoing effort to find innovative ways to support artists, we have created On Our Radar, a searchable database featuring noteworthy Emerging Fields, Literature and Performing Arts projects that advanced to the second or third round in our highly competitive grant application last year. Although the featured projects were not ultimately funded, we feel they are projects to watch.
They’ll be featuring Wayang Kinect until September 30, 2013.
I’ll be performing at the Strings exhibit at Ventana244 Art Space in Williamsburg on March 2, 2013. I’ll bring the laser pointer. You bring the cats.

I got to help out Marina Zurkow with a bunch of new soft sculptures for her solo exhibition at bitforms. I detailed the experience here.
And, at the end of January, my collaboration with Claude Wampler, Amelia Saul and John Tremblay will premiere at The Kitchen. It has been quite the productive winter break.
I had the pleasure of working with Greg Shakar, Merche Blasco and Nick Yulman to produce this year’s ITP NIME Show at the Glasslands Gallery on December 9, 2012. Full video documentation is still being edited, but in the meantime you can check out these short animated GIFs for a glimpse of the magic that happened last Sunday.
