Happy New Year all! I apologize to any of you who landed on my page recently only to find an outdated SXSW post from March as my most recent update. The dates seemed to have gone haywire on my posts and I’ve just fixed the issue. Dates & posts should be in order now.
Two days ago I just returned from an adventure I will never forget. My brother, his girlfriend and my boyfriend trekked out to Ecuador for the turning of 2011 into 2012. It was an adventure of a lifetime.
I’ve barely been home long enough to unpack my suitcase let alone absorb what I have experienced in an articulate story to share, but as I sort through the 3000 photos that we captured and 70 video clips we took, I’ll be stiching together and mapping out our adventures and post them here for you.
I just wanted to say a very quick happy new year to those of you who swing by regularly. I’m very excited to start this year with fresh eyes and optimistic outlook. Feeling full of creativity & love and excited to start 2012 off with some sparks….

For those of you who couldn’t make it out, check out this video taken by Franklin Street Works. This was one of our instrumentals called “Olive”. The photo above was taken by Jackie Alcayaga.

New to the Danger Studio as of this weekend, is a really cool collection of handmade Danger pendents!
This is my first attempt at making jewelry out of my designs and I’m really stoked with it’s transformation. I took my Wanderlost collection of graphics and cropped them into 1 inch circles, then obsessively cut out 50 small prints. Each of them is affixed to silver plated pendents, and finished with a glass dome enclosure. The work becomes a magnified orb of bright color, and each is completely unique from the next.
Later this week I’m going to attempt another round using resin as the finishing glaze. I’ve been using resin over the last year on all my wall art, which gives it a glossy glass finish so I’m excited to see if I can bring the same great results to jewelry.
Next up are a batch of rings! All will be available on etsy once I’m happy with the collection. Stay tuned!
Hi Folks! I have a new show announcement that I’m excited to tell you about…
On Thursday November 10th, a new collaborative performance project that I’m working on, The Moon, will be debuted locally at Franklin Street Works. FSW is a not-for-profit art space and cafe that recently opened in downtown Stamford, CT.
I’m performing with musician Jeff Schram who will be filling the atmosphere with his original acoustic songs, heightened by electronic elements, vocals & digital manipulation. I will be cooking up a visual cocktail of projections and real time camera effects live, and together we aim to transform the space into a colorful dreamworld of visionary motion, art & sound.
If you are local, please join us!

Inspiration
“Remebering that you are going to die, is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” - Steve Jobs
A few months ago I saw a video online that stopped me in my tracks. It was a graduation speech that Steve Jobs had given a few years ago. Funny how I found it too. I had an image of a Day of the Dead skeleton on a blank card and I thought to myself, if this card were to have a headline, what would it be? I came up with the phrase, “Live before you die”. Having been really happy with coming up with this profound little phrase I decided to google it and low and behold, up came this brilliant speech that blew my mind.
Rest in peace Steve. We are all grateful your vast inspiration & the creativity that you brought to this universe.
The “live before you die” speech:
Hey guys! This Saturday, October 8, from 8PM-2AM, will be the third Signal to Noise event at the Museum of the Moving Image.
I’m super excited to be invited back and Jeff and I will be once again outfitting the place with 6-7 projectors filling their performance space. I’ve been busy in my studio creating new materials, testing new equipment and getting ready for this epic set-up. Hope to see some of you there. We’ll be working with a number of other visualists that evening and will be VJing for MiniBoone.
Here is some additional info from the museum’s event page:
Signal to Noise once again takes over the entire Museum of the Moving Image with interactive spectacles and visual delights, including electro-jams, post-rave vibes, circuit-bent video, shadow game tournaments, battling guitar video game contests, and much more as the galleries stay open late and the party goes later.
DIY rock superstars Anamanaguchi command the stage with high-energy low-res anthems, kicked-off by Extreme Animals‘ preposterous video/music explosions, MiniBoone’s raucous tunes with eyecandy from Holly Danger, and Landlady’s catchy experimental rock. LoVid blasts video noise from handmade hardware, and Modal Kombat duels on acoustic guitars-turned-game controllers.
Chill out to Smooth Breeze‘s easy-listening jazz and creamy screensavers, and beat out the competition during an all-night tournament of Shadowplay, the live-action puzzle game you play with your shadow. Luck You Collective, easylife, and Strongbros hold down the lobby with ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE, featuring Burger Sundae, Girlbro, Beatsaface, and Latitude Zero on the decks.
Co-curated by Jason Eppink, Assistant Curator of Digital Media, and Anamanaguchi.
Open bar from 8:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m., sponsored by Reyka and Samuel Adams. Cash bar follows.Coolhaus and Big D’s Grub Truck parked out front.

Happy Summer Everyone!
I know it’s been quiet here on the Danger blog but I’ve been busy creating new stuff! I’ll be updating all of this very soon, but in the meanwhile I wanted to let you all know about a little show going on if you’re interested & local to Stamford.
My very good, long time friend, Maria Castellucci, owns a beautiful salon in Stamford called REVEAL and is exhibiting the Danger Studio Summer Collection on her walls for the next two months as a part of her ongoing artist series. The show will be up from July to September.
Maria has been a creative inspiration to my own personal style & red hair design for over 10 years, and I’m excited to see my work in her lovely space.
If you are in town, please stop by to check out the goods! The work is for viewing & for sale.
Reveal is located at 322A Hope St. Stamford, CT.
In two weeks I am heading off to do something I have never done before – I’m hopping a plane to San Francisco to participate in the city’s annual foot race, Bay to Breakers for their 100th year!
The race starts at the north east end of the downtown area adjacent to San Francisco Bay, and runs west through the city to finish at the breakers of the Pacific coast on Ocean Beach. The complete course is 7.46 miles (12 kilometers long) and is not a traditional race by any means.
Participants are known to dress up in all sorts of crazy costumes and some have even run it naked! This year for their hundredth they are enforcing some rules that they haven’t in the past. No alcohol, no floats and no nudity. We’ll see just how much the public abides. There will be 50,000 runners this year!
