Originally created as a collective dedicated to providing studio space to emerging artists for one-night-only showcases, //PIXELMOUTH has evolved with “artist-first” model. Our shows are built in four sections: 

INSTALL | PERFORMANCE | ENVIRONMENT | BUFFERINGS



INSTALL - Usually taking shape as a connected yet seperate gallery, our shows typically feature 5-8 installation pieces. Depending on the theme of the show, we prioritize interactive, experimental, and large scale pieces, and artists who want to workshop/build their pieces in our communal studio space.



PERFORMANCE - The duration of our shows, made up of 3-5 seperate performance pieces. A fusion of performance art and music, we embrace the performance art show model of built-in breaks between pieces in order to digest, converse, and anticipate.



ENVIROMENT - Working with an “Environmental Construction” team, our goal for each show is total space transformation. This usually includes projection, stages, murals, and other large scale artworks created in collaboration.



BUFFERINGS - An ongoing project created at //PIXELMOUTH’s inception, Bufferings are the primary way we weave narrative throughout our shows. Inspired by Neta Alexander’s writing on the concept of streaming buffering, we embrace the “perpetual loopic circle that informs us that we must wait”. Taking place in the minutes before each performance, each buffering serves as an introduction to the upcoming piece, and as the opening and closing to each show.

TĀO LIU
is a Chinese American digital designer, illustrator and book maker. Their practice aims to activate a viewer’s senses for the divine through the means of world-building and the creation of iconography as metaphor. To Tāo, the human mind has the capacity to perceive the divine in all aspects of reality, including the digital realms of the modern age. Their recent work focuses on crafting new myths and folklore of the digital world and its experiences, drawing inspiration from the commonalities between biological and digital systems and their emergent visual patterns, reflecting a pantheist universe where every atom is imbued with vital chance.


A. KAZAL
is a filmmaker, video artist, and writer. A member of IATSE 849, they approach narrative filmmaking though a cinematic lens - often serving as both director and cinematographer on projects. Telling stories through words and lights, they explore uncanny real and science fiction worlds woven with magical realism. Working within the philosophical frameworks of elemental media and presence, their art revolves around concepts of hypermodernity, surrealism, and digital alterity in a post-internet existence. No matter the medium, they embrace the performance art philosphy of body-as-canvas. 

Their film “Blue Light” will premiere in 2025.


TENCH C.
is a glitch artist. Their art circulates concepts of breakage in digital technology and decay. Fascinated with ideas of digital time and compression algorithms alongside impermanence in digital and physical art, they use glitch to illuminate the inner workings of the digital underbelly. Their current work centers around using light as an object mixed with large-scale steel sculptures.
