FREQUENCIES is an after-dark multimedia destination that spotlights the sounds and sights of Allston-Brighton. People who live, work, and play in the neighborhood submitted their own short form videos, audio recordings, and photos, capturing everyday moments that sparked joy, familiarity, and togetherness. Artists Allison Tanenhaus and Maria Finkelmeier—who met at the Harvard Ed Portal—put these collected materials through a signature remix.
Allison Tanenhaus, a CAA Member, is a local digital artist who’s goal was to create a cohesive, enjoyable experience for each track, with plenty of wiggle room for play and serendipity. Using glitch apps on her iPhone, She deconstructed and discovered hidden treasures tucked within each bit of media, amplifying colors, adding or accentuating motion, distorting perspective, synchronizing speed, and teasing out all new patterns and shapes.

bent/haus creates mind-bending optical illusions, harnessing light, color, sound, video, and data into imaginative and immersive 3D experiences. Whether bouncing off mirrors or suspended in mist, bent/haus’s curious installations invite viewers to challenge their perception of both inner and outer spaces. Using smartphone apps and AI, Allison crafts psychedelic glitch art rich in abstraction, vibrancy, and unexpected dimensional qualities. Ben’s visionary, custom-built vessels—fashioned from simple yet cleverly recycled materials, and utilizing rudimentary tricks of physics—beam the 2D files into life.
For their exhibition at Boston Cyberarts, Ben and Allison will reboot fan favorites like their hypnotic infinity box “Glitchfield,” plus premiere all-new pieces—from cable access–inspired music videos to upcycled trompe l’oeil sculptures—imbued with their signature electro-organic experimentation.

Hilary Hanson Bruel is CAA Member and a (re)emerging artist from the Boston area who works with encaustic paint — a mixture of beeswax, damar resin, and pigment that is applied in layers and fused with heat. Her multi-layer paintings are studies in color, composition, and texture that highlight the unique properties of the medium, and which are informed by her background in both fine arts and graphic design. Her paintings can be purchased online through Etsy, in various local art exhibits, or by contacting her directly.

Local artist & CAA Member, Haleh Fotowat, will be exhibiting Multicellularity from January 22 – February 27, 2022.
Here is what they have to say about the exhibition: “Inspiration for this body of work comes from unpredictability, urgency, continuity, beauty, humor, and enthusiasm that is omnipresent in all forms of life. My painting process consists of spontaneous, uninhibited drawing of shapes, trajectories, words, and numbers, usually with a pen or pencil. I often listen to improvised jazz music while I work, letting my hand go free and move as it needs to. I sometimes even dance. Then I add paint, going back and forth between drawing and painting. I watch, listen to, and encourage conversations between individual elements that surface as I go along, as they form a coherent ‘multicellular life form’.”
