Pete Appleby is a video artist who blends video sources into new and exciting visuals. He first became involved in video creation while employed with Chevron Oil Field Research Co. in 1980, where he created simulations of oil field production using IBM mainframes, Cray supercomputers, and DEC minicomputers. "Chevron also used a lot of miscellaneous hardware such as film and video recorders, plotters, and digitizing tablets. I was fortunate to be able to learn to program interfaces to these devices. It hardly seemed like work at all for a young and curious programmer. This is where my video passion began!"

Timothy Lapointe is a visual artist working to bridge the worlds of painting and video art. After majoring in painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Timothy began exploring animation and CGI as a way to transform his paintings into intuitive, living worlds with movement and depth. "Both the mediums of painting and synthesis — whether video or audio — are at their essence elemental and untamed. It is up to the artist to determine if or how to bring them into focus. I was drawn to video to begin making emotional, unconscious, and intuitive choices with color and shape in animation."

Devin Greenwood is a New York-based composer and audio-visual artist whose work explores the intersection of wave phenomena and collective behavior. He began his journey after discovering his love of scan-processing, using an oscilloscope he had purchased on Craigslist for his recording studio. "Then years later, right before the pandemic, I happened to walk into a Nam June Paik show at the Tate Modern in London and somehow I knew, in that moment, that my future was tied to video art."

Marta Verde Baqueiro (@martaverdebaqueiro) is a visual artist and creative technologist working at the intersection of realtime audiovisual performance, generative systems, and experimental video. Her work explores feedback, signal behavior, and visual texture through hybrid setups that combine software tools with modular video synthesis. She has presented projects at festivals and events such as Sónar +D, Ars Electronica, MIRA Barcelona, SEMINCI or WOS, and collaborates regularly with musicians and performing artists.

Majxr Tom (@Majxrtom) is an audio-visual artist who began his journey inspired by Richard Wagner's idea of Gesamtkunstwerk — or "total artwork." This philosophy combines all forms of creation, such as writing, music, and visuals to create a synergistic sum, completely unique from its parts. "After many years of working on the craft of my music, I wanted a visual accompaniment to it. The visual and the music always have to speak the same language, and breathe together as if they were a part of the same entity," he explains.

Evan Henry (@Cinema.AV) is both an audio and visual artist who often works with live bands and audio synth creators to make collaborative live shows and performances. He started his journey at Dallas Ambient Music Nights, occasionally performing "some video tape I found at a thrift store, like a National Geographic or Mind's Eye sorta thing." When Brian Tomerlin — his now longtime friend — brought his 5–6ft high CRT setup to a show and performed using various video devices, "I just sat there, most of the night, like I'd often do as a child, just glued to those televisions." Afterward he was hooked, finding any way he could learn, and eventually acquiring his own setup to bring to shows.

Lauren Klotzman is a multi-medium conceptualist who conducts an anti-disciplinary philosophy in their creative process. "Klotzman is an instrumentalist, operating an analog modular video synthesizer to create 'video paintings' via electricity." Klotzman views time and energy as one, composing life and therefore the art that flows through it.

Our first artist feature! Vincent Bergeron (@Vincentbrgr) is a multimedia visual conceptualist whose work bridges drawing, photography, and digital processing to explore identity, perception, and time.
