Resident Rose Gold
MAKS performing at Rose Gold on 9/11/19. Utilizing Jitter interactive video software, mask with 6×6 LED display (recycled from discarded Samsung flatscreen). Images of New Hampshire childhood home commingled with scenes from Resident Evil Remake. Original musical compositions except for “Safe Room Theme” and “Credits.” Mother Earth staff makes an appearance at the end as a life boat floating performer and audience away from past trauma. Just remember; “Life is survival horror!”

Ridgewood Ritual 2019
Testing out our new GoPro. Without sound, backdrop paintings, or large sculptures it seems people get very uncomfortable, very fast. Hence the 8+ police presence called to “the scene.” Everything worked out, very chill officers.

MAKS @ Gold Sounds
MAKS performing at Gold Sounds on 3/21/2019, a fine venue. This work explores what happens at the busy intersection of popular culture, avant garde tropes (think John Cage), and interpersonal emotional exploration. This is a dangerous intersection, many accidents – please wait for the walk light and always use your blinker. Documentation by 185668232.

MAKS @ 59th St. Terminal
Performing in the Subway for the first time. The setup was incredibly light and portable, allowing me to hit multiple locations within a day. Gonna continue in this vain alongside the larger guerrilla installs I’ve been pushing on the public.
