Unique & Unusual Art Show An annual family favorite! For three days, the sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tallahassee is transformed into a public art gallery featuring a diverse collection of artworks and fine crafts. This show holds a special place in our hearts because, years ago, it was the first art show to feature work MANDEM. (2011)

Canvas7 Art Premier: Setting Up "Live Music. Killer Coffee. Local Art." The seventh annual CANVAS Art Premier had fierce competition to get into the show and MANDEM was honored to be among the 35 selected artists. Here's how the CANVAS event works (and we didn't know this ahead of time): Artists arrive to find an empty warehouse full of piles of used lumber and nails. Each artist must use these materials to construct an 8'x8' display for their art (without putting any nails in the walls or floors). If we're selected again next year, we'll know to bring our tool belts! (2012)

Canvas7 Art Premier: MANDEM Display After driving all night with the baby and artwork packed tightly into the car, we had only a short time to turn a pile of used lumber into a professional art display. Here's the result! (2012)

SMART: The Sussex Mail Art ProjectThis mail art project was hosted by the Sussex Artists' Co-op. Artists from around the world mailed in 4"x6" or 5"x7" works of art. Since the work was mailed as-is, not put in an envelope, the postmarks and wear-and-tear from shipping became part of the artwork itself. This image shows "Wallflower" scanned in after her journey through the post. (2012)

DigiTech Showcase For this one day event, the William Johnston Building was "transformed into a technology playground featuring outstanding student work in applied digital innovation."

We presented our transdigital artwork in historical context with other art that has explored the boundaries between digital and physical mediums. Here, the MANDEM family sets up the art display the night before the conference. The littlest MANDEM, Kitsuko (24-months-old), is always eager to help. (2013)

Pride in the Arts This literary night and art show was part of Tallahassee PRIDEFEST 2013. MANDEM's work was prominently featured alongside other regional visual artists, while authors read excerpts from novels and selections of poetry. A special treat at this event for MANDEM fans was a special sneak-peek screening of our silent film "Doll" -- a project that has been in-the-works since 2008 and is finally nearing the end of post-production. (2013)

TalTech Tech Expo 2013 MANDEM was invited to be a "TechTalk" speaker and exhibitor at this event. We discussed our own Transdigital methods and trends in digital art today. Our presentation and transdigital artwork were definitely a hit at this event, where we received numerous invitations to come speak at future tech events and workshops. This photo shows a view from behind the MANDEM exhibit table. We had fun playing with the Turnbull Conference Center architecture; we suspended several paintings with fishing line so they appeared to be floating along the staircase railing. In addition to the floating paintings, our display spanned two 6-foot tables and 15-feet of wall display. (2013)

MANDEM is a symbiotic pair of transdigital -punk artists, Maize Arendsee and Moco Steinman, working in both digital art and traditional art mediums such as oil painting, mische technique, mixed media, and acrylics. Our themes include: mythpunk and mythology; steampunk and alternative history; cyberpunk and human-animal-machine hybrids; gothic, horror, and dark fantasy; monsters and chimeras; and queer feminist art. Important visual influences include German Expressionism; influential sci-fi fantasy artists such as Brom and Giger, and traditional painters such as Maxfield Parrish, John Atkins Grimshaw, and the surrealist and visionary movements. Other influences include James Barrie (Peter Pan), Lewis Carroll, Lovecraft and other Gothic Victorian writers; Bertolt Brecht and epic theater (also theater of cruelty and theater of the absurd); Robert Graves, Mircea Eliade, and the great mythographers of the Gilded Age; Jungian philosophy; the ancient Greek and Roman poets — especially Euripides and Ovid; and epic modern myth-makers such as Tolkein, Clive Barker, Guillermo del Toro, George Romero, and Neil Gaiman. Our work has appeared in gallery shows and we have designed album or book art for the Cruxshadows ("Dreamcypher" and "Ethernaut"), Michael Schulman ("Home"), Abney Park ("Airship Pirates" RPG), and we designed the promotional art for the Dragon*Con 2012 Horror/Dark Fantasy Track.
