*2026 stock* Alluvium, a collaborative project of Nika Kaiser and Nathan Stickel, uses a combination of composed and improvised video projection, field recordings, and experimental sound. They create performative installations responding to site-specific details within each of their works, drawing ties between the political and the spiritual.

The geologic phenomenon of alluvium occurs when loose clay, silt, or sand has been deposited by running water in a streambed or floodplain for an impermanent period of time, making unique radial shapes. Inspired by this phenomenon, Kaiser & Stickel's responsive compositions develop cumulatively, collecting and compiling sound and imagery. Alluvium has performed throughout the Southwest, most recently at Collective Misnomer in Denver, CO (with support from Redline Contemporary Arts) and The American Institute of Thoughts and Feelings, in Tucson, AZ.
