We are working with locals in the affected area to identify areas of need.

Throwback to the time Life Is Art Studios got to create tour content for Chris Rock's Total Blackout Tour. This content toured the world behind Chris, and we were extremely honored when he even came back to us for a second set of content for the Australia leg of the tour. Co-founder Soup Stephen Williamson worked one on one with Chris live DPAC to tweak it to exactly what Chris wanted, dialing in grain, distortion, and collecting effects using VDMX with an Absen Inc video wall.
