techniques in some prints/pictures for his galleries or exhibitions. Known for psychedelic animated videos and datamoshing. There is also a focus on sound in his video art, especially with how he chooses to implement them along side the videos.

Night Moves, 2012
I couldn’t find a way to embed this video since it is a part of an official site. This one is the most appealing video of his to me, the kaleidoscope visual ideas in the beginning really visually draw me in, and then it turns into this almost hyperrealistic setting, which it’s hard to distinguish whether or not it is real or CGI. When the images start to break down, similar to many of his other works that’s where it begins to have the tonal similarities and distinct aspects that make it his art.
Monster Movie
This is so weird. He uses clips from films that already exist in order to manipulate them and it resembles glitch art in a lot of ways which I find very visually appealing in an extremely unsettling way. The most jarring aspect of this piece is the sound/music that he puts over the video. It’s seemingly demonic and the tones do not match up which creates an even more interesting effect.
Part of Synthesizers
This whole collection and series is super interesting because it seems almost realistic but almost CGI. It’s almost falls into the idea of the uncanny valley, where you can’t fully tell if it’s real or not, especially with the 3D elements and the color composition that he’s choosing to use.
