Bitvert has a widescreen approach to art that covers projection, audio, moving image and 2D media. Projects include music/sound production and large scale image projection.
Bitvert's paintings are created using projected light stencils. Found media imagery is juxtap osed to form new associations and meaning. A graphic punk/ rave sensibility seeks to provoke the eye and mind. This is coupled with layers of acrylic op posites intended to attract and repel the viewer in an equal measure. These paintings and prints celebrate glitch, colour error and the loss of privacy.
