GL_TCHcraft - Opening ceremony guide
GL_TCHcraft will perform an open ceremony performance on Sonia's stage to welcome all of us into the present moment. This bizarre collaboration will be a perfect combination of insanity and bliss, a ying yang of chaos and order to explode us into a million pieces and reconfigure us back together, so that we're properly ready for Hypnothesis.
Founded in 2020 by Totem Faehy of Sound Shaman and CJ Carr of Dadabots, GL_TCHcraft explores organic, electronic, and A.I. elements to weave together a tapestry of churning rhythms, glorious textures, and danceable noise.

Zalgo Love Letters - Beautifully Broken
"Beautifully Broken" is a body of work that explores the convergence and dissolves the lines between physical and digital realms. Through these images, I aim to capture the raw essence and authenticity of the human form and complicated emotions while challenging conventional perceptions through glitch art — often using self-portraiture as a means of personal expression and reflection, adding a layer of intimacy and vulnerability to my work. This work presents a reflection that is distorted yet has an emphasis on sensuality. It is a testament to the intricacy and complexity of Self. In our digitally interconnected world, technology can also be used to manipulate our perceptions of reality, truth, and identity. In response, I harness destruction and the unpredictable and unexpected beauty of the glitch as a tool for transformation and empowerment.
