A collective of artists who work in the realm of audio and video performance. We create live and interactive immersive environments in response to music and theatrical events. Content is a mix of original, found, and generative material manipulated with
a variety of off the shelf and custom software. We strive to break out of the box (rectangle) of the typical projection system and include the viewer to create a two way interaction. The core of smallGod isThomas Bates and JP Kelly.
