Re:Wired is a showcase of local contemporary artists with a focus on experimental electronic sound, art, and performance.
Through a collection of artist talks, demos, and performances, we aim to highlight the current and future state of these artforms and the people behind them. We invite artists into a space created for them to experiment and explore, allowing emerging contemporary work to exist and to share it to our community.
Electronic art and sound is ever-evolving, making it the art of the present and the future. This artform is a big part of MassArt’s SIM major and its history, as electronics are a new and boundary breaking medium— just as SIM is a relatively new major that aims to break boundaries in institutional art education and practice. As we were born into the digital age, electronics have impacted our practices and the way we view the world. Because of this, we found the theme of electronic mediums to be both historically and personally important.
The festival aims to give back to our community, creating a free opportunity to connect diverse artists, audience, and producers.

She obtained her MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College, Oakland, CA, and a BA in Psychology and Music from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.

Isaac Monheit works between defined mediums, creating virtual musical instruments controlled by hand gestures, object detection, and full body tracking. His practice explores the fusion of movement, sight, and sound through camera-based detection in order to construct live, immersive experiences. His work reimagines the body as both performer and instrument, blurring the line between physical action and perceptual experience.
dreamcorp. is the solo electronic music project of Miles David. I started dreamcorp. in 2020 when I was 16 while in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. In the years since starting dreamcorp., I've released 6 albums/EPs that have explored the sounds of many times and places including vaporwave, jungle, ambient, nujazz, and much more. I'm gearing up for the release of my next body of work called FORUM303 due out in early June.
