Live Visuals

Real time · No second take

Before the director's chair there was the booth: projectors, decks, and rooms full of people. Imagery built in real time, with no second take. Music is everything.

Installation

You Are Here

One visitor at a time. You surrender your phone at the door and spend three minutes alone in a dark room while the walls show you what the air already knows. Nothing is recorded. The room forgets you when you leave — that is the point, and the threat.

About

Director · Subrosa Media

Jonathan C. Hyde is an American director and multidisciplinary artist. He began in the booth — resident VJ at Stereo, Parking, Circus Afterhours, and Time Supperclub — moved to the studio at Roger.tv, Logan, and METAphrenie in Berlin, and from there to the director's chair.

Today his work — film, installations, live visuals, and the Radical America anthology — lives under his own production company, Subrosa Media. Raised in Vermont; shaped by Montreal, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Los Angeles. Interested in underrepresented, underestimated, and undervalued stories.
