Stranger Cat | 8 PM
Stranger Cat (Cat Martino) creates immersive performances where avant art pop, live looping, ambient sound journey, and light art merge. A vocalist, producer, and interdisciplinary installation artist, she shapes each set as a living sculpture, braiding ethereal vocals, synths, choral textures, and field recordings with shifting LED light sculptures she designs and self programs, along with her unique performance video art.
Rooted in a career that spans experimental pop to contemporary art spaces, Cat has toured and recorded internationally, collaborated with artists such as Sufjan Stevens, The Shins, Son Lux, and Sharon Van Etten, and performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Coachella, The Sydney Opera House to iii Points Miami. Her work now expands into multisensory ritual, where live songs dissolve into looping vocal choirs, bowls, drones, and binaural beats, guiding audiences into a shared sonic landscape that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Drawing on her background in music, embodiment, and ecological listening, Stranger Cat transforms performance into a portal, part concert, part sound bath, part performance art. At Clandestina Art Basel, she offers an experience that is hypnotic, soulful, and visionary, a space to listen deeply, rest inside the vibration, and feel the boundary between art, body, and light become porous. She has released two full length art pop albums as Stranger Cat, acclaimed by NPR, Brooklyn Vegan, Pitchfork, FLOOD, the LA Times, and more. Stay tuned for the next chapter with @Stranger_Cat__
VJ 2URN | 9 PM
Dimitry Saïd Chamy is a transdisciplinary artist, designer, and cultural producer. He creates hybrid generative systems that draw on collaboration, process, and play to evoke what is lost, examine the present, and explore the possible. His practice is rooted in a love of nature, science, and storytelling—grounded in his diasporic experience as a queer Haitian-Lebanese American immigrant.
Chamy won several grants from Miami-Dade County and was awarded an Oolite Arts Creator Award. He has been an artist-in-residence at Design Hi(j)ack in Beijing, the Barnard College Movement Lab with Pioneer Winter Collective, FETA Foundation, and Locust Projects in Miami, where he also exhibited. His work has been shown at Beijing Design Week, New York Fashion Week, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Lowe Museum. His videos have earned international awards and been screened at festivals worldwide. In 2022, he was an assistant curator and producer of The BluPrnt Show, curated by Robert Chambers with 395 artists spanning a 120+ year cross-section of Miami art which The New York Times featured as expressive of the city’s historical significance as a global art center. He has performed with Juraj Kojš’s Orchid Adventures, designed props, and performed scenic visuals for the premiere of Pioneer Winter Collective’s dance-theater work Apollo.
Chamy holds an MFA from Yale University. He has taught at six universities and served as an Erasmus+ Scholar and Honorary Chair at the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga.

WISPer: GUERRILLA HOTSPOT
Public Art Activations (Dec 2–4) | Download Press Release for more information
A long-running activation from MUD Foundation’s WISPer program, Guerrilla Hotspot returns to the streets of Miami with a new iteration.
Originally developed by Rodolfo Peraza, in collaboration with Olivia Solis and Jommy Barban, Guerrilla Hotspot was first launched in the public space of Wynwood (Miami) in 2017–18 during the Art + Hack + Data event, addressing how Internet Service Providers design and define our relationship with the internet. That early activation circulated the Data Interceptor, a security-like vehicle equipped with a permanent WiFi network, allowing nearby participants to connect and visualize intercepted digital data footprints through extended reality.
It made the invisible visible, revealing the hidden digital traces surrounding us.
In its 2025 activation, Guerrilla Hotspot becomes a hack for reclaiming public space in a city where cultural institutions are increasingly displaced by real-estate pressures. This edition transforms the Data Interceptor into a mobile public art platform: the vehicle will project selected works from the exhibition Looking at Models onto walls of cultural spaces across Miami, making the exhibition accessible to commuters and passersby throughout the city.
