LoVid

LoVid is composed of the fabled New York artist duo Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus. Their award-winning transmedia work juxtaposes virtual and physical experience, and has been compared to visual ASMR, psychedelic sea creatures and unhinged quilting projects. To create the deeply-layered NFTs in this exhibition, they employ a kaleidoscopic range of technologies and processes from synesthetic composition and electrical engineering, to analog synthesizer video, to glitch and noise, to wearable design and stained glass. In the video below, they share a behind-the-scenes look into their studio, where the multi-dimensional magic happens. These activated pieces embrace the dualities of virtual and physical, material and simulation, fantasy and reality, hope and despair, and connectivity and isolation. LoVid's performances, video, and media installations have been presented worldwide, from MoMA, the New Museum, and the Museum of the Moving Image, to avant-garde institutions like Issue Project Room and The Kitchen. They have received grants and support from Rhizome, Franklin Furnace, Elastic City, Wave Farm, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Experimental TV Center, and LMCC; and awards from NYSCA, NYFA, Foundation for Contemporary Art, and Greenwall Foundation; and residencies with STEIM (Netherlands), Harvestworks, Eyebeam, Smack Mellon, and Cue Art Foundation. LoVid’s videos are distributed by EAI (Electronic Arts Intermix) and NFTs are represented by PostmastersBlockchain.
