About ClockPhase
My name is Andrew Davis. I am a projectionist and visual artist known by the artist moniker ClockPhase. My primary mission as an artist is to prioritize the archival preservation and documentation of psychedelic history, counterculture aesthetics, and the visual traditions born from that movement, while simultaneously incorporating elements of traditional lightshow and A/V projection techniques into contemporary practice through rigorous methodology.
My practice operates within a hybrid analog-digital framework where I reconstruct traditional lightshow methodology by manipulating colored liquids across glass plates under LED light. Using a camera to capture the plates in real time and compositing layers within a live digital environment, I am effectively manipulating analog practical effects and pre-recorded footage simultaneously. Modern VJing and projection art are direct descendants of the overhead projector era, and my work continues this lineage.
