Be Bab + Cate Hops
Beatrice Babin aka Be Bab is a visual artist, VJ, film editor, and professor of editing based in Berlin.
Her work revolves around dreams of a future that sometimes already feels like the past. She explores the boundary between memory and invention through various audiovisual media. Analog film material and digital images are mixed with analog modules and digital programs. Camera feedback captures real space and transforms it.
She is part of the VJ collective Trial And Theresa and the FCD / Flinta* Club Deck*. She frequently performs with musician Mila Chiral and musician Robin Burke. Her audiovisual installations and projections have been shown at the Sfora Art Festival in Poland, Pandora Gallery in Berlin, and the Japanese Palace in Dresden, among others.

Cate Hops is a DJ, performer, curator, radio host, and academic researcher in the field of sound system epistemologies and visual anthropology.
In her live performances, she creates layers of feedback loops and sound ambiance through the use of objects, hacked toys, radio frequencies, and effected voice. Her sound resembles a bass-heavy and sometimes harsh noise that is situated between improvisation and storytelling.
Cate Hops performs solo and in several projects, such as Ruido Polimnix with Lun Ario or KYOOT with Fra Zedde, as well as in occasional duos with JD Zazie, Munsha or Paolo Possidente, among others.
