ARTISTS: Tony Conrad, Jutta Koether, and John Miller (sometimes featuring Greg Parma Smith) SOUND: Distorted, at times minimal instrumental music fusing Conrad's violin with Koether's Euro - inflected synths and Miller's looping guitar WHAT THEY DO: A real
thinking man's art supergroup, XXX
Macarena unites three artistic visionaries who each come from a different corner of the art world — Conrad is a legend in avant - garde video and sound art (he made the landmark, epilepsy - inducing film The Flicker in 1966), Koether is a hypercerebral painter, and Miller is a multitalented artist and critic who teaches at Columbia.
