I am the founder and Captain of the Virtual Krewe of Vaporwave (VKV), a Mardi Gras-oriented arts collective in New Orleans, Louisiana. Since 2016, my krewe has produced a large-scale, public-facing piece of art for every Mardi Gras, in addition to numerous other free-floating projects. We solicit and secure interesting audiovisual jobs to fund our Mardi Gras celebrations.
