Weather Citizen is a Detroit-based audiovisual artist integrating forward thinking sound art and music, systems theory, and embodied cognition. They construct audiovisual ecosystems intended to call into being a world organized for and by an interdependent social body.

Otodojo (Maro Kariya, PhD) is a Detroit-based audiovisual artist who wishes to use multimedia to connect and motivate people towards changing systems that threaten environments. They weave together sonic stories through field and object recordings, processed vocals, contact-miked materials, and layers of synthetic sounds inspired by the natural world and imagined bio-cybernetic futures. Their music has been released with labels such as Acid Camp, Mesma, Perimeter Junk, Qeone, Unimatrix Zero, and their album ‘Amphibious / Aural Spirits’ on The Bunker NY has been named one of the best albums of 2023 by MixMag. In 2018, they launched ‘Microtones’ (microtones.info), an electronic music collective in Ithaca, NY which aims to help community building through music.
