K/S/R (the trio of Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith & Justin Rhody) have been performing expanded cinema works and recording since 2021. The trio have previously performed at Other Cinema (San Francisco), Highlands University (Las Vegas), Shapeshifters Cinema (Oakland), University of New Mexico (Albuquerque), the firehouse (Joshua Tree), and the Light Matter Experimental Festival (Alfred University, NY). K/S/R’s music was recently featured on the legendary Coast to Coast AM radio program. In 2025-26 the trio will be releasing a 2xCD, a split cassette, a 5″ vinyl record, a full length LP, and make multiple festival appearances across the country.

Johnny Woods is an animator and musician living in Pecos, NM. Necropotence combines sundry audiovisual aesthetics from occult rituals, black metal, and new age philosophies in an attempt to summon ancient nature spirits for a liturgy of forced rebirth.

a. stone is the pseudonym of an elusive Madrid NM-based artist working in video, film and sound. This performance involving manipulated prepared cassettes, spoken word and an archive of personal hi8 camcorder tapes, marks an extremely rare departure from the studio by the obfuscatory artist.

Maspeth is America: A semi-fictional working class lamentation captured on the outskirt industrial areas of New York City by filmmaker/musician, Ben Kujawski. Photographed on gritty black and white Super 8, the film reverberates the sentiments of a worker grinding away another day in a never-ending cycle of generational labor.
