Michael Gittes is a Los Angeles-based painter, composer, and video artist known for his emotionally resonant multimedia exhibitions and large-scale public art tributes. He came to us because he needed a new website to feature his work; specifically, "Purgatorio," which taps into the collective experience of pop culture from across the world, synchronizing popular music videos and performances with hit songs that all possess a common tempo. Every now and then, the audio and visual elements of the installation come together in moments of eerie, harmonious synchronicity: a gentle reminder of how we all exist in a space that is at once both random and totally incredible.
