David Wexler

David Wexler, internationally known as Strangeloop and celebrated for his unique visual aesthetic, is a polymath animator, composer, illustrator, media theorist and entrepreneur channelling specific hyper-dimensional crystalline entities and using the vivid scatter of photons to subvert the traditional meaning behind representational and cinematic imagery.
