How Many Times
by Jesse Antonoff, Roy Aizen, Leah Friedman, and Jake Pettit
As a result of this pandemic, each of us have had our structures dismantled to wildly different degrees; while some have adjusted by staying the same, others have completely reinvented the structure of their day-to-day. We are presenting a digital experience that considers the cycle of breaking and re-adapting, thinking about what it looks and feels like to move towards new or revert to old structures and forms within ourselves.
Jesse Antonoff is originally from Long beach, CA and currently lives in Philadelphia, where he teaches and writes/creates things.
Roy Aizen: Roy has several years of experience learning, performing, and creating a broad range of music through both drums and electronic mediums. His recent creations draw from organic sounds to create vast, celestial soundscapes. Currently, he works as a user experience researcher at a digital agency.
Leah Friedman: Leah Friedman is a Philadelphia-based dancer and researcher, currently apprenticing and performing with Philadanco! under the direction of Joan Myers Brown. Leah has worked with choreographers such as Danny Ezralow, Rennie Harris, Dawn Marie Bazemore, and Thang Dao. Leah also holds a B.S.c in Cognitive Neuroscience and works as a neurotechnology researcher at the University of Pennsylvania.
Jake Pettit: Jake studied Interactive Digital Media at Drexel University. For his senior thesis, Jake was the lead designer on a team of other IDM students to create an interactive art exhibit involving experimental technology and interactions. Since graduating Jake has worked as a Visual Designer for a software company, and a freelance web and graphic designer.
