John P. Hogan is a multimedia artist whose work is grounded in the aesthetics and ethos of DIY rock music and amateur theater production.  His band, Ponce De Leon, bases its music on a fictionalized history of Florida, and it seeks to reconcile the sexualized hipster death drive with the corporate oligarchy’s need to enforce global ideological homogenization through violence and social imperialism.  He recently wrote and directed a musical mini-series at Machine Project entitled Heretics, performed in four live installments. He is currently producing a radio-play series based on this piece, called Heretics Lost.  Hogan received his MFA in Art and Integrated Media from CalArts in 2006.
