About: Allison Tanenhaus (she/her) is a New York–born, Somerville–based glitch and video artist. She specializes in trippy op art, anachronistic tech mashups, unexpected dimensional qualities...and cats!

Highlights include the ICA Store at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, New Alliance Gallery, Harvard Graduate School of Design, Boston Museum of Science Planetarium, SaveArtSpace, “Empowered Women Empower Women” curated by Paris Hilton, the Alternative Power 100 by shesaid.so and Patreon, and her traveling shows “GlitchKraft” and “Haus Party.”
Artist Name: Caryn Liu
Business Name: art by caryn
Pronouns: she/her
Insta: @art.caryn
About:
Caryn creates art as a form of self-expression and exploration of the form itself, capturing the extraordinary elements of life and imagination. Through vibrant colors and carefully placed details, she aims to transport viewers into a world of dreamlike reality. She invites viewers to embrace wonder and curiosity, and to challenge innate perception by revealing new dimensions of possibility in each piece of art. Stylistically, her work contains a menagerie of techniques inspired by surrealism, impressionism, graffiti, and whatever captures my immediate interest.
Artist Name: Easton Smith and David Fong
Business Name: Holomorphia
About:
what is HOLOMORPHIA? (noun) 1. Multichromatic objects that defy fixed perception
2. A transient state of vibrant curiosity
3. A prismatic portal of playful intention, often meditative
Easton's signature work involves holographic and iridescent specialty materials used to create "sun sculptures." Her work is vibrant, interactive, and one of a kind. Think somewhere between a disco ball, stained glass, and a sun catcher. She also sells iridescent earrings, original art prints, and stickers.
David is the force behind the computational and generative wizardry that Holomorphia has exhibited out in the world. David approaches art through the lens of complex digital tooling and helps Easton bring all of her wild ideas to life with technical know-how.
