Fractions
Denver Digerati's resident artist, Tobias Fike, will debut his experimental video work entitled: Fractions. The installation features home videos of the artist as a child and of his own children are projected onto a mirrorball as the images reflect back into the surrounding space in a newly arranged cosmos of light and color.
Traverse
Traverse delves into the notions of journey and identity in a landscape, fusing performance and video work to investigate the relationship between the environment and one's self. In dialogue with the landscape, artists use a symbolic and physical passage to rewrite a narrative, question ideologies, evince transformation, and shift perspective. The exhibition is part of Denver's Month of Video Program.

Wire Taps
A multi-channel video installation featuring work created during a residency at Signal Culture during the summer of 2019. These video pieces were made about the space between sleeping and wakefulness during a particular moment in our history just prior to the pandemic. They were produced by remixing long format youtube ambient videos and public domain imagery through vintage analog video equipment, creating numerous palimpsests of electric dreams and nightmares, memories and premonitions captured and layered as though overdubbed on decaying VHS tapes.
New Red Order: Crimes Against Reality
New Red Order is a public secret society facilitated by core contributors Adam Khalil (Ojibway), Zack Khalil (Ojibway), and Jackson Polys (Tlingit). In our current period of existential and environmental catastrophe, desires for Indigenous epistemologies increase and enterprising settlers labor to extract this understanding as if it were a natural resource. New Red Order—emerging out of contradistinction from the Improved Order of Red Men, a secret society that 'plays Indian'—calls attraction toward indigeneity into question, yet promotes this desire, and enjoins potential non-Indigenous accomplices to participate in the co-examination and expansion of Indigenous agency. Working with an interdisciplinary network of informants the NRO co-produces video, performance, and installation works that confront settler colonial tendencies and obstacles to Indigenous growth.
