One more wizard for the wizard party
“SHELTRON is a fractal glitch wizard hologram from outer space, generating live synchronized audioreactive visuals with game engines and shader code. When not VJing in real reality, he creates audiovisual virtual reality experiences at TheWaveVR for artists like Grimecraft, The Glitch Mob, Tokimonsta, and Imogen Heap. Check them all out for free on Steam or the Oculus store.”

Bending circuits to bend your mind
“Based in Oakland by way of LA, VISMANCIENNE has bridged the gap between analog and digital art since 2014. They wield an arsenal of obsolete, circuit-bent hardware to curate a cerebral visual experience through glitch media and found art. Vaccinate your kids; abolish ICE.”

Psychedelic video synths and nearly obsolete electronics

The man, the myth, the legend
“Nate (FoxxDragon) is a man who wears many hats: Animator, Illustrator, video editor and others. He Arrived on the scene back in 2008 when he started doing banners for Dwelling of Duels. Since then, he has done artwork for more than 50 albums, including running his own projects for Secret of Mana tribute: Spectrum of Mana, and Chrono Trigger Tribute: Chronicles of Time. He is the primary artist for Chiptunes = WIN, but especially known around MAGFest for the backing videos he does for bands when they play live. Odds are fairly high you have seen one of these performances, as he has been doing work for many bands since 2012. If you are watching a show, and the visuals are syncing up directly to the music in ways that make you wonder “How are they doing that?”, odds are high that Nate is back there, making sure everything lines up.”
Performing with Frank Klepacki and The Tiberian Sons.
A pleasure for the eyes and the ears

Welcome to your new favorite city
“I’m Kira and I really like food, books and nature so you’ll see a lot of that in my visual work. I’m interested in a lot of social issues in our society, a common thread throughout my visuals. Always aiming for the eyegasm, I tend to focus on bright and colorful images. I’ve been a visualist for 3 years now, starting out at Magfest’s Chipstage, then PAX Jamspace and now IM HERE BABYYYY”
