Born in 1979, Bruno Levy is a multi-disciplinary artist who works in diverse mediums that range from video, photography, music, painting and drawing. His works focus primarily on the relationship between motion and sound, often hypnotic and psychedelic, they are a testament to the visual as experiential language.
From his early works manipulating video in real-time in 2001 under the umbrella SQUARESQUARE, bruno levy was recognized as a pioneer in video scratching by both Apple and Wired, his works being exhibited and performed at the age of 21 at institutions such as the Guggenheim, the SFMOMA, the MCA in Chicago,the Bronx Museum, the Jumbotron in Times Square, 111 minna, the San Jose Museum of Art.
Disheartened by the modern world, Bruno levy left NYC and travelled the world for 5 years, doing everything from working as a photographer selling his photograph through Corbis, practicing Tibetan Buddhism in a monastery in Nepal, opening a restaurant and learning to tattoo in Kathmandu.
Returning to NYC, in 2009, he directed and shot a series of music videos for bands such as The Walkmen and Modeselektor. Bruno Levy then founded the new media collective SWEATSHOPPE with Blake Shaw. Touring internationally at institutions and festivals ranging from Sundance Film Festival, SCOPE Art Fair, White Box Gallery NY, Jonathan Levine Gallery, and the Ise Cultural Institute, performing a live 3D AV set and "video painting" a technique invented by SWEATSHOPPE. By tracking LEDs inside a paint roller and using projectors, they created the illusion of video being painted and collaged in real time on walls and surfaces in urban landscapes. This project was widely publicized from the New York Times, HuffingtonPost, the Atlantic, winning multiple awards from the Vimeo Awards in 2012, a OneScreen award, and the Prix Partouche.
Bruno Levy currently lives in NYC where he continues to create installations and works that deal with the relationship between audio and video.
