Mutant Forest

Mutant Forest is the creative vehicle for Brooklyn based artists Blue and Andrew Maeve. Together they draw from a wide palette of creative interests and impulses. Their language is communicated through new media design, music production, and dance, merging to spin a common thread of weaving others into transcendent experiences.

These inclinations started to take shape when they were invited to present their work at the Museum of Arts and History in Santa Cruz, CA. The first project they presented was a sound print machine. They later were invited to share a piece that used EEG to detect guests brainwaves and transduce them to corresponding sounds and colors.

While living in Portland they had a month long residency in the Denizen Gallery at Milepost 5 showing “Body Language”, an installation that created sound and visual projections through movement and gesture.

Their latest project is a geometric sculpture, Chrysalis, that uses capacitive touch sensors to create sound. Through Chrysalis they hoped to design a way of performing that allows Blue’s body to express itself in ways that traditional instruments would otherwise confine.

They use it as part of the performance of their upcoming record Alone Together.
