Light, Space, Performance 

@ Retro Tech Night at the San Jose Museum Of Art 

March 19, 2026

—

Technical craft of the past dawns on the future of spectacle and artifice. Mutating its media into forms — ungodly and utterly cruel, to its inhabitants; below the cloud. Underneath it, lay fraught the bones of progress — broken open :: by digital castration and a fascination for nostalgia. The light of projection is casted —-> open into the /\/\useum, piercing a wound of m:3rcy, 𐎘serenity, and sh@me. 

🦠✳️🦠

Thank you for the tremendous support and encouragement from Robin Treen, Kimo Anderson, James Morgan, Craig Hobbs, and Rhonda Holberton. by @phin.the.filter

Come to the @sanjosemuseumofart this Friday 8/14!
In this welcoming, hands-on demo, participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative and technical process behind a series of public light sculptures created for SJ26 by SJSU Professor Esteban Garcia Bravo in collaboration with his art students @digitaldreambf and @phin.the.filter 

Visitors will explore the basics of LED color mixing and learn how video mapping can transform sculptural surfaces with projected animation, light, and movement. Rather than completing a finished project, participants will be invited to interact with the LED and video mapping systems, experiment with light and projection, and gain a better understanding of how these tools are used in public art.

The demo will also include a presentation by Nandi @marocco of DJ @losritmoscalientes , featuring LED animated lights synchronized with music. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet and greet the artists and students involved in creating artwork featured in the streets of San José during major public events such as FIFA World Cup, March Madness, and Super Bowl LX through the support of @sjculture 

You will also have the opportunity to meet Brooke @mindbender.art -the magnificent artist that created Gaiascope, installed at the Circle of Palms. Brooke will also be making a Kaleidoscope-making workshop. by @phin.the.filter

Through The Eyes Of Quiva
Protein Pussy Girls (he/they/we/she/them)
inkjet prints, spit, paper, acrylic, pants hanger, 2026

Our project reinterprets these portraits as a triptych, realized through collaborative craft. Each photograph is encased within laser-cut acrylic, reflective surfaces, paper, and found object. These frames construct a narrative of queer identity and reformation of self through its refracted form. Where archiving queerness is more crucial now than ever, where representation of identity is diminished by colonial-rooted laws and regulations, Quiva’s bring an everlasting force of authenticity to the forefront.

Protein Pussy Girls (PP Girls) is a collective of artists: Noé Naranjo Arias, Phin Nguyen, and Kimo Anderson. Noé Naranjo Arias operates as a transdisciplinary artist, utilizing the computer as a speculative and emotional tool to examine how algorithms, networks, and digital image systems shape identity and collective presence in an ever-rendering reality. Alongside Arias, multidisciplinary artist Phin Nguyen draws from personal experience and trauma to subconsciously self-document contemporary Vietnamese motifs through the lenses of feminism, spirituality, queerness, and homesickness. Meanwhile, Kimo Anderson is an analogue film photographer and storyteller who captures daily moments to archive memory, legacy, and the weight of physical negatives as a bridge to a brighter future.

MACLA’s Queerennial: Identity Through Fashion is now on view through August 9th! 
Open Wednesday - Sunday 12-5pm or by appointment

Phin Through The Eyes of Kimo

Hi baby Phin. I’ve said this already to you but you’re starting to become the other person besides myself and Price to have your portrait taken the most on 4x5. anyway, reflecting back on exposing these images from the other night, i feel a sense of pride. i’m so honored to work with you and the crew because our endless banter on grit and drive leads us to the bigger picture. phin, you remind me how Our Archival Could Mean Anything. thank you for showing up as always. 
Andy, my dear friend, thank you so kindly for this light set up that you created for a client gig; ultimately letting me creep in to use it on my film. Your drive to create and fuel your passion reminds me of myself as well, for that in which I applaud you. joyous night friends ♥️ taken in San Jose, California by @phin.the.filter
