About
Craig Blackmoore is a Detroit-area artist working across 3D animation, glitch art, illustration, physical media, immersive installation and sound, blending the physical and the digital.
His current project, Temple Eso, is an immersive, meditation-inspired temple whose visuals and sound respond to the visitor's brain activity. He has been an artist in residence at Lighthouse Immersive and TEAD One, has exhibited in Detroit, New York and internationally, and opens his solo exhibition Dream Sequence at Padzieski Gallery in September 2027.
