DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/hack-queensday-concert/":SATURDA
 Y MAY 5: CONCERT WITH PHILLIP STEARNS\, TOKTEK VS MNK\, JON REUS\n\nNew Yor
 k based artist Phillip Stearns first came to STEIM 5 years ago as part of t
 he CalArts Exchange\, and impressed us with his mad soldering skills and ti
 reless effort to build his analog neural-network sculpture AANN. 3 years la
 ter\, he returned as a member of the MLB project and blew us away with his 
 bio-feedback strobic analog synth performance. In the meantime\, he has bec
 ome a prolific media artist creating a body of work ranging from installati
 ons\, video\, performance\, and textiles. We are excited to see what he bri
 ngs us this time.\nSupporting the night is a duo by our favorite live-sampl
 ing beat pilot Tok Tek and glitch-VJ MNK (check out their performance here)
 \, and STEIM’s own Jon Reus premiering his new piece that dissects vintage 
 digital hardware.\nDon’t miss it!\nARTIST BIOGRAPHIES ——————–\nPhillip Stea
 rns creates at the intersection of art\, philosophy\, and science\, drawing
  upon a variety of disciplines including sound installation\, music perform
 ance and composition\, video\, circuit sculpture\, photography\, and concep
 tual art. Deconstruction\, dissection\, and reconfiguration are methods he 
 commonly employs in his hands-on approach to creating works with materials 
 ranging from electronic objects\, biological systems\, images\, light\, vid
 eo\, and sound. His work has been exhibited internationally at electronics 
 arts festivals\, museums\, and galleries including: Harvestworks (2010 NYC)
