Erik Loyer

About

Erik Loyer is a Southern California-based media artist who visualizes the latent musics of beings and places. Working with 3D models, video, and scans of physical environments, he builds cinematic worlds for live interaction, blending cosmic scales and quotidian contexts with a musical sensibility. Loyer uses tactility, rhythm, and synesthesia to reveal moments of unexpected surplus, when everyday objects and places give way to myth, trance, and epiphany. Held in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Loyer’s work has been exhibited across the Americas and Europe.
