VJ Fuzzy Bastard creates densely-layered video collages, which he makes live at party and lounge spaces throughout Brooklyn.
He begins by assembling images from all of cinema, with a special focus on early-20th-century experimental and dance films. Those shots are fed through video processing software that layers the images, applies effects, and reacts to ambient sound to make the pictures dance.

“A lot of the fun,” he says, “is decontextualizing moments from cinema history and creating new connections through music. Sampling technology has shown how disparate sounds can be united musically; I try to do the same thing in the visual world.”
