ARTIST BIOS

SLIPPAGE 

SLIPPAGE is a think-tank, an interdisciplinary performance research group that explores connections between performance, history, theater, and emergent technology. Under the direction of Duke professor Thomas F. DeFrantz, SLIPPAGE builds on the urgent need for intentional, critical, and timely interaction among artists, researchers, audiences, engineers, faculty, students, and general publics in the arts. SLIPPAGE has a special imperative to organize cultural events that help us all imagine how creativity and expression operate at the core of artistry, humanity, technology, and social possibilities.Recognized globally, SLIPPAGE remains at the forefront of innovative thinking. This SLIPPAGE performance features artists Kate Alexandrite, Kelsey Brod, and Brittany J. Green.

KATE ALEXANDRITE works in video, performance, photography, sculpture, and collage. Alexandrite investigates qualities of matter and memory to trace the ways one’s environment shapes the perception of the past, present, and imagined possible futures. In seeking to identify how the subjective understanding of time, space, and history echoes in our material present and the space of memory, Alexandrite explores such topics as facism, christianity, and moms.

KELSEY BROD is an artist and critical theorist currently working on her PhD in the Computational Media, Arts and Cultures program at Duke University. Brod’s video, performance, net projects, and prints explore dynamics of gender, whiteness, and national politics in and through technological phenomena. More recently, her work explores human-machine reasoning and their various methodological boundaries drawn by data bias and mathematical limits. Brod’s research and writing have focused on early imaginations of the internet by women, machine vision, and structures for perceiving performance art.

BRITTANY J. GREEN is a North Carolina-based composer/performer. Described as “cinematic in the best sense” and “searing” (Chicago Classical Review), Brittany’s music works to facilitate collaborative, intimate musical spaces that ignite visceral responses. The intersections between sound, video, movement, and text serves as the focal point of these musical spaces, often questioning and redefining the relationships between these three elements. Her music has been featured at TIME:SPANS, the Boulanger Initiative’s WoCo Fest, New York City Electronic Music Festival, and SPLICE Institute and commissioned and performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble, JACK Quartet, Emory University Symphony Orchestra, Mind on Fire, Transient Canvas, and Elizabeth A. Baker. Brittany’s music has been awarded the ASCAP Foundation’s Morton Gould Award (2021) and New Music USA’s Creator Development Grant (2021). She is currently at Duke University as a Deans Graduate Fellow and director of [dnme].
