Ian Humphrey

Literary Arts; Performing Arts: Radio/Television, Spoken Word; Podcast

Ian Humphrey started writing in at age eight in a feminist commune spitting distance from the Mason Dixon. Later, in Baltimore City, he worked part time at a YWCA Woman’s Shelter, and squired a full contact jousting company at the MD Renaissance Festival. He studied fiction at Evergreen State College and University of Baltimore in between drinks and drugs, and when his last bridge burned he went into self-appointed exile floating through the South-West. Since then he has drafted two novels and developed the up and coming magixploitation podcast, Under The Shroud.

Curse Mackey

Graphic Arts; Media; Performing Arts: Musician, Spoken Word, Vocalist; Visual Arts: Construction/Collage, Mixed Media, New Media/Technology, Painting, Performance Art

Austin based artist Curse Mackey is best known as lead singer of industrial supergroup PIGFACE and notorious Texas tribal-industrial legends EVIL MOTHERS and as a member of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. Mackey has now launched a solo electronic industrial project that includes new material and revamps of classic Pigface and Evil Mothers songs (including Spider Sex and Car Wrecks.) His sound is a future-forward homage to the experimental side of industrial music, with doom-fueled drones, sinister synth pulsations and dirty-minded beats layered upon hypnotic noise manipulations, scream of conscious lyrical prose and near trance-inducing improvisations that evoke the ghosts of Throbbing Gristle, early Skinny Puppy, Lustmord, Coil, and the iconic projects Mackey has been a part of. PIGFACE has also featured such luminaries as Ogre of Skinny Puppy, Martin Atkins of Ministry/Killing Joke, En Esch of KMFDM, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV and Danny Carey of Tool, just to name a few.) Mackey is also the co-founder/COO of Mosaic Sound Collective in Austin, TX.

I work with curators to help share historical content through the new medium of location-based augmented reality. “Voces in AR” features WWII Mexican American Veteran content from the University of Texas’ Voces Oral History Project. Additionally, I’m working on a project featuring Comanche Chief Quanah Parker and building a relationship with the Quanah Parker family as I collect their historical content in digital form. I’ve been a featured speaker for social media groups, public groups and I regularly reported breaking news as a lead reporter at KUT, KVUE and KRGV-TV. The McCombs Business School has invited me to guest lecture multiple times on the use of geo-rich social media data for intelligence and real-time engagement efforts.
