ex_mortal_

ex_mortal_ is a Florida-based video and sound artist who specialises in glitch art created through a distinctive fusion of vintage analogue hardware and contemporary digital techniques. Rooted in both analogue manipulation and modern digital processes, their practice explores the aesthetic of digital decay and intentional distortion, revealing the beauty within technological imperfections. Since beginning their journey in 2015 with an interest in analogue glitch devices and modular video synthesis, the enigmatic artist has developed a signature style blending vaporwave influences with experimental glitch art.

Their visuals oscillate between organic and synthetic forms, often reinterpreting natural landscapes to evoke a sense of technological fragility and the imperfect translation of data in the digital age. Early in their career, ex_mortal_ performed experimental live visuals in intimate Florida clubs, manipulating analogue equipment and live camera setups to cast glitchy signals onto walls, highlighting the challenges of analogue devices within a predominantly digital environment. Nowadays, they enjoy working with their equipment in a studio, a more controlled setting that allows deeper experimentation and refinement of their glitch aesthetics. Entering the crypto art space in 2021 through connections with hic et nunc, ex_mortal_ continues to evolve their practice. Collectors can discover their work on Objkt, SuperRare, Exchange, and Foundation.
