About the Artists

RNBWMKR/Emmett Potter lives and works in San Francisco, CA and shares a studio space with his wife, artist Kristin Bauer. My video and audio work explore the concept of using an implied narrative of the human experience, condition, and society based on familiar environmental sounds, field recordings of urban and nature settings and cinematic musical themes juxtaposed with nonmusical sound, noise and auditory glitch experiments. Using an audio mixer, the score is then relayed into analog and digital video synthesizer module rack system that visually expresses the sound waves as light, color and movement. The final result is a visual/audio media artwork pairing sound and light, that can be experienced as a singular live performance or created in the studio and saved as a digital movie file for playback at any location using a media player and viewed on a monitor or projected screen combined with a sound system or PA.

Kristin Bauer is an interdisciplinary artist based in San Francisco. Working across text, sculpture, installation, performance, and sound, her practice explores the psychology of communication, propaganda, and poetics through embodied and symbolic forms. Bauer’s work has been featured at SMoCA, Phoenix Art Museum, ASU Art Museum, Franconia Sculpture Park, the Abrons Arts Center, the ICALA, Fundacion Telefonica in Santiago, Chile, NIcholas Foundation in Melbourne, and the Transborder Biennial. Her book "This Is Like That: Kristin Bauer" (publisher: Hirmer Verlag, Munich, 2023), received the International Creative Media Award Gold Prize for Art Book design. Performance projects such as Spinnte-Spanne (ASU Art Museum, 2025) and spin-thron (de Sarthe, 2023) highlight her growing focus in merging poetry, sonic technology, and ritual as process. Over the years Bauer has worked professionally in Jungian symbolic depth process practice and research, and written for art and audiophile magazines, She has a radio show, HagRiot HH at RadioValencia in SF and plays synthesizers and granular sculpted vocals with Emmett, her sweetheart, in her sonic beat punk project 8BitHex. Bauer has been a resident at The Space Program SF and exhibited in projects with them at Et. Al, Saint Joseph's Art Society, SF and Minnesota Street Projects.
