Joe Burgio
born in Boston Massachusetts, received his first formal dance training from Jody Weber at Green Street Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At the Dance Complex, also in Cambridge, he studied Experiential Anatomy, Somatic Movement and Contact Improvisation with Debra Bluth. He has appeared with several dance-theater groups, including Callie Chapman-Korn’s Zoedance and Rose-Pasquerello-Beachamp’s inFluxdance, which made an award-winning appearance at the 2006 Montreal Fringe Festival. He has performed extensively with experimental and improvisational musicians, and has on-going collaborations with Katt Hernandez, Lou Cohen, Matt Samolis and Jack Wright. His principle area of interest is intermedia performance, and has worked on many projects with video artist and musician Walter Wright: electrovideomove, the bopAnts, Egg Sucking Dogs, the dadallamas, and the Apocalypse Trio, with Shayna Dulberger. Joe leads bodydrama, a movement ensemble rooted in Butoh aesthetic, and teaches informally in Boston’s Fort Point arts community.

Walter Wright
is a multimedia improviser. Pre-recorded imagery is de/reconstructed on his video performance system, the Video Shredder, creating unique and stunning visuals. He plays the analog synthesizer. He has a Doepfer, a Little Boy Blue, and a touch-sensitive BPNG. He has immersed himself in music, video, and dance improvisation. In 2003, he enrolled in Goddard College’s MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program, graduating in 2007. He focused on “improvisation as a way of being present in/to the world.”

In the early 1970s, he was one of the first video animators. At Computer Image Corp he animated letters, words, and titles for the Children’s Television Workshop. He was a video animator for Ed Emshwiller’s Thermogenesis and Scapemates, aired by WNET’s Artists Television Workshop. Scapemates was the first computer graphics video nominated for an Emmy Award (1971), and Wright showed his work at the first computer art conference at the Kitchen (NYC, 1973). In 1973-76, he pioneered video performance while touring public access centers, colleges, and galleries with the Paik/Abe video synthesizer.

Wright has also developed software and hardware for artists: the Video Shredder, a desktop video processor for the TARGA2000; and Movies, a video optical printer for Truevision’s TARGA+ frame buffer. He assisted in the design and construction of voltage-controlled video modules at the Experimental Television Center, and has assembled two Serge Modular Music Systems. Currently, he is working with Max/MSP and softVNS to develop motion-triggered sound and video performance.

He is a co-founder of 119 Gallery, the first digital art gallery on the World Wide Web, reopened in 2005 in Lowell, MA.
