What is Pixelmouth

    Founded in 2022, //PIXELMOUTH is a curatorial art collective obsessed with narrative storytelling and fascinated by how our physical and digital worlds interact. With a focus on environmental construction and capturing the ephemeral, their explorations have primarily taken shape as one-night-only shows featuring multiple interactive installation pieces alongside a fusion of music and performance art. 

My Role
 
    In Pixelmouth, everybody fills a variety of roles. I coordinate all artist outreach, curation, installation assistance, and show prep. I also function as Pixelmouth’s project manager. That role includes managing deadlines, creating info dockets for every artist, calendar planning, file organization, and creating the timeline for each show. Lastly, I function as Pixelmouth’s resident projectionist and VJ, engaging with performers and providing visual projections for the show performances. Those visuals are crafted custom by me in TouchDesigner.

    In Pixelmouth, my art is centered around what visual motifs we’ve decided fit the show theme best. I’ll start drafting potential visual styles for the show early on in the process and try to center the iconography and aesthetics I’m making around the show concept. Those visuals get used for show programming as well as being backdrops for all the performances for the night. My creativity also manifests in the form of a curatorial lens, with which we select artists whose work resonates with the show.
