Sibling duo Eliza & Izaiah Miller debut a live audiovisual performance, Purification: Anagoge, for LEAF’s 10th anniversary.
The new rendition of Purification (2024)—originally a single-channel video produced with support from Signal Culture’s artist residency program—reflects on firsthand experiences of spiritual abuse, incited by self expression and differences in religious ideology. The performance employs real-time signal processing to convey the individuation process and the fluidity of familial relationships, both blood and chosen.
Important note: This performance utilizes flicker and stroboscopic light; photosensitive audience members are advised to take this into consideration and proceed accordingly.
Artists Bios
Eliza Miller is a video artist, event organizer, and experimental filmmaker based in Fort Collins, Colorado. She utilizes real-time image processing to explore the unconscious mind, human connection, and sense of self.
Eliza believes strongly in the importance of community and supporting fellow artists. In 2025, she founded Current Prayer, a collective that promotes artist development, creative experimentation, and grassroots activism through multimedia events. Current Prayer acts as an extension of Eliza’s creative practice by upholding the values of early video pioneers: nonconformity, accessibility, and experimentation. Eliza also volunteers at the experimental media arts non-profit, Signal Culture, which has been fundamental to her development as an artist.
Izaiah Miller is a guitarist and electronic musician based in Denver, Colorado. His sonics are typically inspired by themes surrounding self-criticism, doubt, renewal, and the ever-evolving nature of relational ties.
Compositionally, Izaiah balances dissonance and melody within syncopated, often odd meter like rhythms as a means of communicating the multi-faceted subjectivity associated with human experiences and emotions. His sound design further expounds upon these qualia, often through playful contortions of effects, signal routing, feedback experiments, and general electro-acoustic approach to sound design.
Izaiah’s most personal past project, Body Boy, was featured in a write up by Tom Murphy for Birdy Magazine in August 2025 and acknowledged for its complex textures and sound collage. Additionally, his prior involvement as lead guitarist in the local alternative band Moonpool accrued positive write-ups from Denver Westword and Melodic Magazine, as well as performances for Denver’s Underground Music Showcase and opening for Hoobastank as a part of Cheyenne, Wyoming’s “Fridays on the Plaza” concert series. Since phasing out of Moonpool due to creative differences, Izaiah has begun a collaboration in experimental rock, noise, and electronics in a new project called Perfect Smile.
