ABOUT THE PANELISTS
Ally Grimm, aka A.L. Grime, is a Venezuelan-American artist, muralist and graphic designer based in Denver, CO. Her work explores the rise of the technological era through the lens of the human experience through bold, emotion-driven patterns.
A.L. Grime began her artistic journey working in the music industry, so her art remains heavily influenced by the sounds and community of the electronic music scene. She uses fluid line-work and pattern-work the energy and movement of a crowded dance floor.
She seeks to innovate how we experience art, continuously seeking the latest tech such as AR, VR, and NFTs. She believes art and technology will bring humans closer in the world, and she aims to share a message of empathy and unity through her creativity.
My name is Matthew Rey Treece, online I go by eceertrey. I am a 31 year old photographer, 3d render, and conceptual artist living in Boulder, Colorado. I use my own unique blend of combining different mediums and techniques, typically digitally mixing and arranging with delicate care and balance, in order to create a “mixed reality” image—one that I feel and see inside myself and my mind. In the past few years my focus has been on landscapes and the environment throughout Colorado. I studied photojournalism at University of Cincinnati where I originally gathered extensive experience with photography, creating graphics, and working in multiple digital platforms and mediums. I’ve had my artwork featured around the world in India, Paris, China, & NYC. I was an invited speaker at Boulder Startup Week 2017 for the Photography 2.0 discussion panel for my innovative landscape photography and rendering techniques, often dubbed “conceptual sculptures”.
My body of work aims to emphasize the deep beauty in forgotten and unexplored regions of our cities, our natural landscapes, and even our thoughts and dreams.
