About

VIXT makes large-scale interactive audiovisual installations. They have appeared at Any Piece of Grass (APOG), Bass Coast, and Burning Man, including an official Artery placement at the 5:30 / Esplanade corner in 2024.

The work is slow on purpose. The visuals morph rather than escalate. The sound drifts rather than builds. Stay a few minutes and you'll see one dimension of it. Stay longer and you'll see another.

The practice has long roots: working with emergent systems, the hypnotic effect of overlapping rhythms, and decades of contemplative practice — an interest in what attention can be persuaded to do.

The pieces engage that interest through coordinated multisensory feedback. A small bank of unlabeled luminous knobs in your hands; visual and auditory response in unison. The combined effect is much more than the sum of any single channel.

Working stance

The pieces are vigils, not depictions of vigils. The aim is to make the conditions for a state — attentive, slow, mesmerizing — rather than represent one. Visuals default to a painterly home base; the system breathes back to center on its own.

Working language

Each piece pairs a physical structure with custom software driving generative video and sound. VIXToscopes are kaleidoscopes — mirrors you look into. VIXToramas project an image you look at.
