What is a psychojelly?

A state of mind. A way of being. An effervescent guide in the muddled dark.

We try not to limit ourselves to one constant, inflexible definition. Our team is adaptable and agile: changing course with the present currents, pushing the boundaries of what we’re told is impossible, and kindling sparks of passion and curiosity. 

But within the chaos of creativity — we always uphold our Psychojelly values.

  • Put the Audience First

  • Embrace Experimentation

  • Deep Collaboration

  • Each Action Serves The Narrative

  • Everyone Deserves To Be Heard

  • Every Experience Is Unique

Our Values

Where we began.

Nearly a decade ago, Psychojelly started creating custom software and visuals for live concerts and performances, allowing the artist on stage to control the visuals and lighting.

With 500+ shows under our belt, the experiences inspired an idea. How could we include the audience on a deeper level? What if they could be onstage, controlling the environment with their actions and choices, guiding their experience?

This curiosity sparked a new chapter.

Since then, Psychojelly has created 50+ installations in 20 cities worldwide for arena-touring artists, theme parks, neuroscientists, multi-industry brands, Hollywood-level productions, broadcast events, and more.

While still grounded in our roots and the energy of a live audience, we create experiences that put the audience as the main character in our client’s stories, always allowing their choices to matter.

This is our core driving force: Expanding the art of narrative by fusing it with interactive and immersive technology.

TEAM

Who we are

  • I manage the Engineering needs of the project and also work with the Client to navigate any technical hurdles, costs, and timeline around creative. I also work with our creative team to work within our project needs, help with sourcing/strategy, and Budgeting/Pitching

    Background

    I’ve worked live performance visuals for concerts for 5 years. 2 years into that I started building custom software for the performance. I began taking these software’s off the stage and into rooms where the audience can control the environment. After 500+ performances with touring arena artists and large festivals and 50+ interactive installations(2019) I built Psychojelly to help supply the needs of the scale of the installations and help my clients build teams that could accomplish the projects.

    Background

    My background is mixed solidly between live performance visuals for concerts and large scale interactive installation art. I have my bachelors in Media Production and Information Science with a focus on animation, projection mapping, and python-based programming. I’ve performed live visuals for about 3 years and worked on content creation and programming interactive installations for a similar length of time. I love being a part of the Psychojelly team as I get to regularly combine both of my passions on a wide array of unique and fascinating projects.
