Coming up on Sunday, March 22 in the new Ridgewood home of Future Space @fu_ture.space, a night of experimental audiovisual performances by Testu Collective @testucollective, Kirin Mcelwain @kirinmcelwain and Anna Johnson @_annajohnsonart_
7 pm doors/8 pm show
5-84 Woodward Ave. Ridgewood, Queens, NY
Testu Collective is an NYC-based intermedia art group founded by Serena Stucke and Dan Tesene. Their practice spans sound installation, video art, and live performance—building immersive audiovisual environments through close observation of natural phenomena. Testu combines synthetic and organic sounds through field recordings, modular synthesis, hand-made instruments, sound objects, and spatial audio software—building tactile hyperreal soundworlds.
The collective has presented work at Gray Area (SF), 2220 Arts and Archives (LA), Artists Space (NYC), Public Visuals (Tokyo), CTM Festival(online), Ars Electronica (NYC), Ace Hotel (NYC), The Shed (NYC), Pleamar Festival (Buenos Aires). Most recently, Testu created a multi-channel sound installation for Dan Flavin’s light sculptures at Mana Contemporary. Testu Collective was a 2025 NYSCA grantee.
Kirin McElwain is a cellist and composer working in the realms of experimental, contemporary classical, and improvised music. Weaving together classical and Baroque influences with an affinity for sub-bass and harsh electronic textures, her music explores themes of desire, shame, perfection, and belonging.
Anna Johnson is a Chicago-based performer, composer, and visual artist. Based in drone and hypnotic repetition, her sound layers textural explorations of voice and electroacoustic instrumentation into a devotional music approaching avant pop, atmospheric choral, and psychedelic neomedieval folk. Her performances feature prismatic installations that integrate video projection and manipulations of light and shadow.

With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
