Cracked Ray Tube is my collaborative project with Kyle Evans that started in 2010 after we met each other in Jon Satrom's Realtime class in the Film, Video, New Media, and Animation department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
We toured for many years, performing at the GLI.TC.H festivals in Chicago, the Vancouver New Music Festival, Currents New Media Festival, and winning second place at the 2012 Guthman Musical Instrument Competition.
We have given our DIY Video Synthesis workshops throughout the United States, and our tutorials have been shared across the globe in analog video synthesis, video art, and glitch art communities.
With Kyle teaching full time and co-running dadaLab in Austin, Texas, the project is on hold but not over. Our most recent collaboration was in 2022 at my Control Signals exhibition.
