FlyLo is the LA-based DJ who you may know from recent mind-expanding albums like Cosmogramma, a jazz and hip-hop-influenced effort that saw him break new ground as a DJ-producer. Miwa Matreyek is known for her live performance and installation work using projection. Check out her work in the video above, one can only imagine what these two minds will crank out when they collaborate.

"These multi-disciplinary Los Angeles artists will collaborate together for the first time this year to find inspiration and direct sampling of northeast Los Angeles' imagery and sounds to create The Mapping of Countries Yet to Come, a piece that celebrates the present communities surrounding Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. Their work will debut at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock in June, 2012," reads the statement on the Center for the Arts web site.
