Johnson for A/M albert@vylevylevyle.com jen@vylevylevyle.com M 773.331.8396 http://vylevylevyle.com Recorded during his tenure as an artist practitioner in the New Museum's NEW INC artist incubator program, "HER COMPLACENCE IS VIOLENCE" is a 23-minute project that touches on issues including gentrification, gang violence, disproportionate conditions on the Southside of Chicago, fashion, losing touch with your reality, witnessing the loss of his mother, brutalist architecture, eradicating toxic masculinity, and systemic control - drawing inspiration from crowd-sourced anecdotes and the artists' personal experiences. The project is also presented with architectural environments viewable as 3D experiences + visuals, inspired by the songs on "HER COMPLACENCE IS VIOLENCE" - w/ lyrics, production, and code provided by the artist himself. First crafted in 3D modeling software, then brought to life with code - the project is built on Javascript, three.js, HTML, and WebGL, a web-friendly rendering framework that can produce immersive graphical experiences, for use on both mobile and desktop. Guests include HPrizm (Anti-Pop Consortium, Warp Records, Ninja Tune), and buzzing, upcoming NYC underground rap artists AceSL and Jean Valeur (previous work with Mr. Carmack of Soulsection, etc). Recently, vyle has animated and directed a music video for Fade To Mind artist Rizzla, was featured in "Render Bender", a new short-form 3D animation show presented by Cartoon Network vertical SuperDeluxe - and an editorial for King Kong Magazine's 'Super' issue with Sophia/Hanson Robotics, Timothy Saccenti, and Gucci Creative Director, Alessandro Michele and just had a video piece acquired by the Whitney Museum Of American Art.
