NO MEDIA is an open improvisational realtime/performance media art event curated by Jeff Kolar, Nick Briz & Jason Solliday. NO MEDIA aims to bring together artists from a broad range of performable disciplines (poets + dancers + expanded cinemaistas + free jazzers + audio/video noise makers + etc) to challenge the conventions of their practice by responding in realtime to artists from other disciplines.
TOBY ALTMAN is the author of a chapbook, Asides (Furniture Press 2012). His poems can or will be found in The Black Warrior Review, Fact-Simile, The Offending Adam, and other journals. He lives in Chicago where he co-curates Absinthe and Zygote, an experimental reading series.

Adrienne's work can be found in Fact-Simile, Apothecary, Con/Crescent, and Monkey Puzzle magazines, and, most recently, in the anthology Body Electric.

SARA ZALEK is an artist obsessed with sci-fi, time travel, witches, dreams, predatory animals, permaculture, dynamic movement, and the act of transformation. Inspired by Hijikata, Kazuo Ono, Yoko Ono, Pina Bausch, David Bowie, poetry, fluxus, and expressionism, she aims to develop greater openness, acute listening and fierce collaboration while embodying the collective psyche. Zalek graduated from SAIC in 2006, LinkUp resident in 2012, and has collaborated in over 50 unique live works in Chicago since moving here in 2003.
