"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Layered with almost 2,000 pounds of paint, the geometric starburst design is nearly 11 feet tall, 8 feet wide and 11 inches deep.) DeFeo spent eight years working on \u003ci>The Rose\u003c/i> (1958–1966), building up the surface with oil paint, wooden dowels and mica flakes. To see it in person is to stand in awe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, \u003ci>The Rose\u003c/i> temporarily wrecked DeFeo—physically, emotionally and creatively.

And instead of large-scale time-consuming projects, we see her taking photographs of her immediate surroundings—the small porch studio in her Larkspur home, still life arrangements of glassware and vegetables, and eventually, process shots of ongoing paintings and drawings. While DeFeo never exhibited her photographs as artworks during her own lifetime (she died at age 60 in 1989), they were integral to her practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852641\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13852641\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042.jpg\" alt=\"Jay DeFeo, 'Untitled,' 1971.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1046\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-160x163.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-800x817.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-768x785.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-1020x1042.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jay DeFeo, ‘Untitled,’ 1971. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Jay DeFeo Foundation; Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Los Angeles; Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York; Galerie Frank Elbaz, Paris & Dallas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The scale of these high-contrast silver gelatin prints—the smallest of which is just over 2-by-4 inches—necessitates a lean-in approach to viewing the exhibition. Nothing in the SJMA’s gallery will overwhelm you physically, but many of the images puzzle. DeFeo plays with light and texture, cropping and camera angles to render ordinary objects strange. (The exhibition’s title comes from DeFeo’s friend, poet Michael McClure, who used it to describe the spiritual and aesthetic qualities of everyday things.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through DeFeo’s lens, a serving dish holding a head of cauliflower, reflected in two small mirrors, becomes a surrealist meal. Photocopies, likely made semi-illicitly at Mills College, capture bones, drawing compasses and the gummy shapes of kneaded erasers pressed against the glass. In the mixed media on paper piece \u003ci>Three Mile Island No. 2\u003c/i> from her \u003ci>One O’clock Jump\u003c/i> series, these “undersoul” tactics render a broken tape dispenser as a giant gray-hued eyeball.

DeFeo spent eight years working on \u003ci>The Rose\u003c/i> (1958–1966), building up the surface with oil paint, wooden dowels and mica flakes.

And instead of large-scale time-consuming projects, we see her taking photographs of her immediate surroundings—the small porch studio in her Larkspur home, still life arrangements of glassware and vegetables, and eventually, process shots of ongoing paintings and drawings. While DeFeo never exhibited her photographs as artworks during her own lifetime (she died at age 60 in 1989), they were integral to her practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852641\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13852641\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042.jpg\" alt=\"Jay DeFeo, 'Untitled,' 1971.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1046\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-160x163.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-800x817.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-768x785.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-1020x1042.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/defeo_p1042-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jay DeFeo, ‘Untitled,’ 1971. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Jay DeFeo Foundation; Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Los Angeles; Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York; Galerie Frank Elbaz, Paris & Dallas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The scale of these high-contrast silver gelatin prints—the smallest of which is just over 2-by-4 inches—necessitates a lean-in approach to viewing the exhibition. Nothing in the SJMA’s gallery will overwhelm you physically, but many of the images puzzle. DeFeo plays with light and texture, cropping and camera angles to render ordinary objects strange.

In the mixed media on paper piece \u003ci>Three Mile Island No. 2\u003c/i> from her \u003ci>One O’clock Jump\u003c/i> series, these “undersoul” tactics render a broken tape dispenser as a giant gray-hued eyeball.

And while the ballet company has offices in downtown Oakland, it’s paying more than ten times what it was paying two years ago for a fraction of the space, explained Artistic Director Graham Lustig. “So you can imagine the relief it’d be to bring everything under one roof with an adjacent venue—in Oakland,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig was referring to the latest plan to reopen the historic Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center; this one would include more than 200,000 square feet of performance, rehearsal, storage and office space for predominantly nonprofits and arts and culture organizations. A civic fixture for most of the 20th century, the large building has been an empty, lakeside monument to disinvestment since shuttering in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal, announced by Orton Development with Heller Manus Architects, is less dramatic than Orton’s original plan to overhaul the city-owned building’s main auditorium. And whereas nonprofits before seemed like an afterthought, now they’re centered in a vision stressing public access to the rechristened Oakland Civic Auditorium’s rehearsal and event-friendly ballrooms and 1,500-seat Calvin Simmons Theatre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852549\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852549\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-800x531.jpg\" alt=\"The 1,900-seat Calvin Simmons theatre at the Oakland Civic Auditorium.\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-768x510.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1,900-seat Calvin Simmons theatre at the Oakland Civic Auditorium. \u003ccite>(Frank Deras Photography/Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The change is welcomed by groups such as the Oakland Ballet and the similarly scattered Oakland Symphony, as well as smaller nonprofits and performing arts organizations struggling in the city’s intensely competitive commercial real-estate market.

Outside, meanwhile, a raised terrace would improve visibility of the building’s sculptural niches. Orton originally projected an early 2019 opening, but the redesign has pushed groundbreaking to late this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea, Dial explained, is to “remove walls between organizations to lower their costs, to lower their footprint, and to think about how we can really put those organizations in community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many speakers echoed activists who’ve scrutinized officials’ disposal of public land in recent years. “I want us to ask the hard questions, like what affordability means, what community access means,” said Elena Serrano of EastSide Arts Alliance. “The slides reminded me of Lincoln Center—a beautiful space that most of New York is completely alienated from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the event, Dial declined to define what portion of the office space would be reserved for arts organizations or to estimate rental costs, but he provided more details in a statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852544\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852544\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-800x520.jpg\" alt=\"A proposed mixed commercial space in the Oakland Civic Auditorium's large arena.\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-800x520.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-768x499.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3.jpg 998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A proposed mixed commercial space in the Oakland Civic Auditorium’s large arena. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Per a tentative agreement expected to come before Oakland City Council in April, Dial said, at least 20 percent of the office space will be reserved for arts organizations. Between the basement, auditorium and second floor, Orton anticipates 450-550 workstations in addition to conference rooms and amenities accommodating an estimated 10-15 tenant organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Programmatic rentals for the ballrooms and theatre will cost nonprofits roughly half the fee charged to for-profit companies. Dial said Orton expects to publish a detailed rent schedule “in the coming months,” and that the highest rents in the project will be less than downtown Oakland office rents, which currently average $4.66 per square foot. A draft letter-of-intent from Orton to an interested organization, which KQED reviewed, proposed $3.95 per square foot in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randolph Belle of RBA Creative, who was part of a team that submitted a competing proposal to redevelop the building in 2014, called the plan a net loss for the public. “Since it’s being marketed for the arts, I’d say 50 percent of would be for arts organizations,” he said. “And $3.95 is just not tenable. That’s the kind of price that’s pushing cultural organizations out of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What works for relatively established outfits such as the Oakland Symphony, Belle said, generally doesn’t work for grassroots nonprofits that are most at risk of displacement. He added that the proposal serves several hundred people in a building that once served several thousand as an auditorium. “Oakland generally takes what it can get instead of getting what it wants,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852547\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852547\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A ballroom staircase and balcony at the Oakland Civic Auditorium.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ballroom staircase and balcony at the Oakland Civic Auditorium. \u003ccite>(Frank Deras Photography/Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Orton originally proposed a more transformative project, with a glass “building within a building” adding more square footage to the arena. In that plan, most of the space would’ve been marketed to a higher-rent commercial anchor tenant, but the design didn’t meet government standards for historic preservation.

The academy’s summer courses, meanwhile, occur in Hayward. And while the ballet company has offices in downtown Oakland, it’s paying more than ten times what it was paying two years ago for a fraction of the space, explained Artistic Director Graham Lustig. “So you can imagine the relief it’d be to bring everything under one roof with an adjacent venue—in Oakland,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig was referring to the latest plan to reopen the historic Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center; this one would include more than 200,000 square feet of performance, rehearsal, storage and office space for predominantly nonprofits and arts and culture organizations. A civic fixture for most of the 20th century, the large building has been an empty, lakeside monument to disinvestment since shuttering in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal, announced by Orton Development with Heller Manus Architects, is less dramatic than Orton’s original plan to overhaul the city-owned building’s main auditorium. And whereas nonprofits before seemed like an afterthought, now they’re centered in a vision stressing public access to the rechristened Oakland Civic Auditorium’s rehearsal and event-friendly ballrooms and 1,500-seat Calvin Simmons Theatre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852549\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852549\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-800x531.jpg\" alt=\"The 1,900-seat Calvin Simmons theatre at the Oakland Civic Auditorium.\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-768x510.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k10.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1,900-seat Calvin Simmons theatre at the Oakland Civic Auditorium. \u003ccite>(Frank Deras Photography/Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The change is welcomed by groups such as the Oakland Ballet and the similarly scattered Oakland Symphony, as well as smaller nonprofits and performing arts organizations struggling in the city’s intensely competitive commercial real-estate market.

Outside, meanwhile, a raised terrace would improve visibility of the building’s sculptural niches. Orton originally projected an early 2019 opening, but the redesign has pushed groundbreaking to late this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea, Dial explained, is to “remove walls between organizations to lower their costs, to lower their footprint, and to think about how we can really put those organizations in community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many speakers echoed activists who’ve scrutinized officials’ disposal of public land in recent years. “I want us to ask the hard questions, like what affordability means, what community access means,” said Elena Serrano of EastSide Arts Alliance. “The slides reminded me of Lincoln Center—a beautiful space that most of New York is completely alienated from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the event, Dial declined to define what portion of the office space would be reserved for arts organizations or to estimate rental costs, but he provided more details in a statement to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852544\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852544\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-800x520.jpg\" alt=\"A proposed mixed commercial space in the Oakland Civic Auditorium's large arena.\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-800x520.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3-768x499.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k3.jpg 998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A proposed mixed commercial space in the Oakland Civic Auditorium’s large arena. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Per a tentative agreement expected to come before Oakland City Council in April, Dial said, at least 20 percent of the office space will be reserved for arts organizations. Between the basement, auditorium and second floor, Orton anticipates 450-550 workstations in addition to conference rooms and amenities accommodating an estimated 10-15 tenant organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Programmatic rentals for the ballrooms and theatre will cost nonprofits roughly half the fee charged to for-profit companies. Dial said Orton expects to publish a detailed rent schedule “in the coming months,” and that the highest rents in the project will be less than downtown Oakland office rents, which currently average $4.66 per square foot. A draft letter-of-intent from Orton to an interested organization, which KQED reviewed, proposed $3.95 per square foot in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randolph Belle of RBA Creative, who was part of a team that submitted a competing proposal to redevelop the building in 2014, called the plan a net loss for the public. “Since it’s being marketed for the arts, I’d say 50 percent of would be for arts organizations,” he said. “And $3.95 is just not tenable. That’s the kind of price that’s pushing cultural organizations out of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What works for relatively established outfits such as the Oakland Symphony, Belle said, generally doesn’t work for grassroots nonprofits that are most at risk of displacement. He added that the proposal serves several hundred people in a building that once served several thousand as an auditorium. “Oakland generally takes what it can get instead of getting what it wants,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13852547\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13852547\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A ballroom staircase and balcony at the Oakland Civic Auditorium.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/k8.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ballroom staircase and balcony at the Oakland Civic Auditorium. \u003ccite>(Frank Deras Photography/Courtesy Orton Development)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Orton originally proposed a more transformative project, with a glass “building within a building” adding more square footage to the arena.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Update:\u003c/strong> After KQED’s report Thursday, on March 8, Porter Robinson announced on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/343475346293395/?active_tab=discussion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook\u003c/a> that he changed the name of Multiverse Festival to Second Sky Festival after becoming aware of the Multivrs is Illuminated. “i feel like the right thing to do is change the name of our festival,” he wrote, announcing the name change. He continued, “(to my fans, please respect my decision here & respect the other event).”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 4, Grammy-nominated electronic music producer Porter Robinson announced a partnership with live music promoter Goldenvoice to bring a new festival to Oakland’s Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in June: \u003ca href=\"https://multiversefest.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multiverse Festival\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson quickly encountered backlash, however, as Oakland is already home to a volunteer-run, donation-based music festival called \u003ca href=\"http://www.theuniverseislit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Multivrs is Illuminated\u003c/a>. The Multivrs is Illuminated, which debuted in 2017 as the Universe is Lit and changed its name in 2018, centers black and brown LGBTQ artists working in punk and experimental music, and features local and national underground artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jade Ariana Fair and Shawna Shanté Scroggins, organizers of the Multivrs is Illuminated, aired their grievances on March 6 in \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BusDvp6Bc0N/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an open letter\u003c/a> addressed to Robinson and Goldenvoice on Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After KQED inquired about the festival’s name, a representative for Multiverse Festival wrote in an email on March 7: “We have been made aware of the Multivrs is Illuminated and are currently in the process of changing the name.” (At press time, the name remains the same on the Multiverse Festival’s promotional materials and social media accounts. Goldenvoice did not return KQED’s request for comment for this story.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BusDvp6Bc0N/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to the grassroots approach of the Multivrs is Illuminated, the Multiverse Festival is presented by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of promotions giant AEG, which puts on Coachella, Stagecoach, FYF Fest and other large-scale music festivals across the country. Tickets cost $75-$95, and the lineup stars dubstep producer G Jones and electropop band Kero Kero Bonito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroggins and Fair say Goldenvoice’s Multiverse marketing push has eclipsed their event’s online presence, and is emblematic of a larger trend of moneyed out-of-towners coming to the Bay Area and displacing local culture. The two also accuse Robinson and Goldenvoice of failing to do their due diligence to research Oakland’s existing festivals: a Google search would have yielded media coverage for their festival in the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>, the \u003cem>East Bay Express\u003c/em>, KQED Arts, \u003cem>MaximumRockNRoll\u003c/em>, AJ+ and elsewhere. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=\"arts_13838574\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of our frustrations is that the entity Porter Robinson is working with is a multimillion dollar corporation. It’s a subsidiary of the second-largest producer of live music events in the world,” says Fair, referring to AEG. “They somehow didn’t have the market research, or didn’t think it was necessary, to see if anyone in Oakland was operating under a similar name doing a similar thing. That negligence is part the reason we’re so upset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because people don’t have a lot of money doesn’t mean their creative ideas can be trampled on, reimagined or taken away,” says Scroggins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroggins explains that she, Fair and their co-founders Sharmi Basu and Titania Kumeh originally conceptualized the Multivrs is Illuminated as a way to uplift artists from marginalized communities in the face of gentrification. Scroggins says Multivrs “was our love letter, our way of giving back to a city [where] so many people come to take what they can and not think about who they’re displacing, what was there before. We wanted to pay homage to the long line of radical and revolutionary music, events, organizing that has taken place [in Oakland].” The fest is due to return in the summer of 2020.

He continued, “(to my fans, please respect my decision here & respect the other event).”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On March 4, Grammy-nominated electronic music producer Porter Robinson announced a partnership with live music promoter Goldenvoice to bring a new festival to Oakland’s Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in June: \u003ca href=\"https://multiversefest.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multiverse Festival\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson quickly encountered backlash, however, as Oakland is already home to a volunteer-run, donation-based music festival called \u003ca href=\"http://www.theuniverseislit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Multivrs is Illuminated\u003c/a>. The Multivrs is Illuminated, which debuted in 2017 as the Universe is Lit and changed its name in 2018, centers black and brown LGBTQ artists working in punk and experimental music, and features local and national underground artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jade Ariana Fair and Shawna Shanté Scroggins, organizers of the Multivrs is Illuminated, aired their grievances on March 6 in \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BusDvp6Bc0N/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an open letter\u003c/a> addressed to Robinson and Goldenvoice on Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After KQED inquired about the festival’s name, a representative for Multiverse Festival wrote in an email on March 7: “We have been made aware of the Multivrs is Illuminated and are currently in the process of changing the name.” (At press time, the name remains the same on the Multiverse Festival’s promotional materials and social media accounts. Goldenvoice did not return KQED’s request for comment for this story.)\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tickets cost $75-$95, and the lineup stars dubstep producer G Jones and electropop band Kero Kero Bonito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroggins and Fair say Goldenvoice’s Multiverse marketing push has eclipsed their event’s online presence, and is emblematic of a larger trend of moneyed out-of-towners coming to the Bay Area and displacing local culture. The two also accuse Robinson and Goldenvoice of failing to do their due diligence to research Oakland’s existing festivals: a Google search would have yielded media coverage for their festival in the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>, the \u003cem>East Bay Express\u003c/em>, KQED Arts, \u003cem>MaximumRockNRoll\u003c/em>, AJ+ and elsewhere. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a subsidiary of the second-largest producer of live music events in the world,” says Fair, referring to AEG. “They somehow didn’t have the market research, or didn’t think it was necessary, to see if anyone in Oakland was operating under a similar name doing a similar thing. That negligence is part the reason we’re so upset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because people don’t have a lot of money doesn’t mean their creative ideas can be trampled on, reimagined or taken away,” says Scroggins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroggins explains that she, Fair and their co-founders Sharmi Basu and Titania Kumeh originally conceptualized the Multivrs is Illuminated as a way to uplift artists from marginalized communities in the face of gentrification. Scroggins says Multivrs “was our love letter, our way of giving back to a city [where] so many people come to take what they can and not think about who they’re displacing, what was there before. We wanted to pay homage to the long line of radical and revolutionary music, events, organizing that has taken place [in Oakland].” The fest is due to return in the summer of 2020. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She was a visibly relaxed version of herself, comfortable in a space she’d created, working in a more insular mode than on her previous record. “With \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/11/11/501165834/weve-always-had-a-seat-at-the-table-solange-on-conversations-that-heal\">\u003cem>A Seat at the Table\u003c/em>\u003c/a>,” she explained, “I had so much to say.

And then incorporated light painting with fiber optics. “It dawned on me that, if I combined the two, the high voltage discharge plus the light painting, using nature as a subject, I could make images that I had only dreamed of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really causes people to reexamine their their basic thoughts about what they’re seeing and the plants that are around us all the time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13851957\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13851957\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-800x640.jpg\" alt='\"Fallen Lichen\" by Robert Buelteman' width=\"800\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-800x640.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-768x614.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-1020x816.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009-1200x960.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Fallen-Lichen-2009.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Fallen Lichen” by Robert Buelteman \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Robert Buelteman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Buelteman had a general idea when he began, but he had to figure out his own technique. “It took 3,000 sheets of [8 x 10″ sheet] film to finish the first 25 images. There’s no manual for this. It’s a trial and error process.” He plays about with a fiber optic probe smaller than a human hair.
