MyFi Studio is an artist duo and multimedia production studio led by Aimee Rubensteen and Dr. Josh Eisenberg in Miami. MyFi Studio builds instruments for audiovisual performance and for people to create their own music and art. The duo performs improvisationally with electronic music instruments, custom code-based tools, and analog glitch video art. MyFi Studio has performed in Miami, Tokyo, Akizuki, Seoul, and on the internet. MyFi Studio (Mycelium Fidelity Network) draws its name from the interconnected communication and tools embedded in mycelium networks and computer systems. In 2024, The Bass Museum of Art commissioned MyFi Studio to create in real time (2024) a collection of 454 instruments inspired by Nam June Paik’s Internet Dweller (1994), and to perform six times using the new instrument. In partnership with The Bass, MyFi Studio hosted the Internet Dweller Electronic Music Lab with a series of live performances, educational workshops, and distribution of the instruments to the public. MyFi Studio instruments include samplers, drum machines, music toys, and audiovisual lava lamps. The instruments are generated by code, written in p5.js, and stored on Ethereum. MyFi Studio’s first two instrument collections sold out instantly, debuting on Billboard's Biggest Music NFT chart in 2023—the first time a code-based electronic music instrument made it on the Billboard chart.
Stone TV is a new exhibition by MyFi Studio. Step inside to play with video art, a quadraphonic sound installation, a multimedia stone sculpture, and a live camera. Visitors control Stone TV when interacting with the camera and activating its feedback loop in real time. The more you move, the glitchier the media becomes.
Created by Miami-based duo Aimee Rubensteen and Josh Eisenberg, Stone TV is a room with four walls covered in projections of analog glitch video art and four speakers filling the room with algorithmically arranged audio. Stone TV references Japanese stone lanterns and the feeling of finding a portal in nature or online through a window, a screen, or a camera.
MyFi Studio built a computer system that runs Stone TV. The system has two computers, each running a different program written by MyFi. This system controls the audio and video played by Stone TV. Each time Stone TV is turned on, a new 20 hour arrangement of audio is created.
