While anchored in our focus on the visual arts, DVCAI convenes performances by multidisciplinary artists and musicians to celebrate the rich culture of the diaspora and Caribbean communities in Miami. DVCAI Nomadic and pop-up arts experiences, residencies, and perofrmances are hosted at Tamiami Park, Miami Beach Bandshell, Garner Foundation, Wynwood Walls, Miami Design District, and other locations annually. NERVE evolved out of Jojo Mayer’s legendary party event Prohibited Beatz in NYC during the late 90′s. Initially a platform for experimental interaction between DJ’s, visual artists, musicians and the audience, the collective eventually developed into a fine tuned group that cross-pollinated the premeditated format of programmed electronic music styles with real time, improvised music performance. Within that format, the band assimilated a wide spectrum of electronic styles from old school Jungle, Dub Step and Glitch beats to Minimal and Tech House and anything that could escape the confines of genre. In the process, the group managed to acquaint a new audience with improvised music for the first time and ultimately bring the Jazz tradition of improvisation, innovation, driving rhythms and stylistic evolution to the digital age.
