Eric Haeker
Founder and Board President
(currently transitioning to Staff Role)

Eric is a composer, music visualization artist, music educator, and arts consultant with past projects including Red Bull's Concerto for Turntable in Carnegie Hall and events featuring DJ Spooky, DJ Z-Trip, and DJ Radar.  In 2002, Eric founded Arts in Motion in order to present multimedia classical concerts as well as music education programs for inner-city youth.  The Philadelphia Inquirer dubbed him "the ultimate classical-music insider" in the emerging field of music visualization and praised his 2004 Kimmel Center debut: "Past attempts to pair music with visuals have been critically damned, but the latest endeavor, involving computer-generated abstract imagery, made a deeply promising debut in tandem with Bach's Harpsichord Concerto No. 5... the visuals formed an organic union with the music." 

For the past three years, Eric has served as Arts in Motion’s Board President, Treasurer, and volunteer administrator.  During this fiscal year, Eric will transition into a paid role as Executive and Artistic Director after the board has chosen successors for the Board President and Treasurer roles.


Ricardo Rivera
Board Vice President and Principal, klip//collective of Philadelphia

Mr. Rivera's mind-bending music visualizations and collaborations with prominent DJs/performers have earned an ever-growing reputation in Philadelphia and beyond. In the January 2004 issue of Wired Magazine, David Michael Grossman notes that "Projector art has been stuck in the '80s far too long. Now Ricardo Rivera is bringing the medium into the future with klip//effect, a technique that's part code, part graffiti." Mr. Rivera's recent work includes permanent installations for W Hotels, New York's Crobar, Puma, and others. He created video installations for the famed Winter Music Conference in Miami, New York's Superluminous installation, and has provided pro-bono video art installations for several Arts in Motion concerts and events.
