Amber Ray
Amber Ray spends most of her days dreaming of a beautiful
life. Her existence sprang from "an initial tease from the sun, and up
grew the fire-flower named Amber Ray." She often dreams up idealistic,
dreamy scenes, hoping to improve on the appearance of some of life's
more dreary subjects by infusing them with truth and passion. Amber is
never satisfied with the reality that has been chosen for us, her aim is
to make you aware that "you have the choice to make your own reality."
Let her dazzle you into waking into your most cherished dream, comfort
you after you've experienced spirit-crushing nightmares and delight you
with her words, imagery, dance and music. "I hope when you look into me,
you see yourself, because that is really where I am."

Rob Roth
Thirty-five-year-old Rob Roth grew-up forever warped by Ernie
and Burt, Star Trek and PAC-MAN. Roth's fascination with media and art
lead him to earn a degree from Pratt Institute. He has worked as a
design director for clients including Microsoft, Sony and AT&T. In 1996,
Roth left the corporate web world and devoted himself to his brainchild,
Click + Drag at MOTHER. The weekly event was conceived to highlight the gleeful,
fetishistic quality of cyber-technology and to blur the lines between
life and virtual nightlife. When MOTHER closed its doors in June 2000,
Roth continued to collaborate on many performance/technology hybrids,
including the Blondie NO EXIT cover art and multimedia, as well as
freelance projects for post-production design firm Edgeworx. He has
recently completed a video for NYC It Girl THEO.
