His work merges art and technology — immersive installations driven by live brainwave data, 3D animation, glitch art, illustration and sound — exploring consciousness, perception and the space between the body and the machine. He has been an artist in residence at Lighthouse Immersive and TEAD One, and has exhibited in Detroit, New York and internationally, including festivals in Croatia, Romania, Scotland and Brazil and The Wrong — New Digital Art Biennale. His solo exhibition Dream Sequence opens at Padzieski Gallery in Dearborn, Michigan, in September 2027.

Trained in audio engineering at the Art Institute of Washington and in media arts at Specs Howard School of Media Arts, Blackmoore treats technology as an artistic medium in its own right, and builds many of his own tools, from audio-reactive live-visual software to a browser-based augmented reality viewer for his work.

His current project, Temple Eso, is an immersive, meditation-inspired temple whose visuals and sound respond in real time to the visitor's brain activity, read through an EEG headband, turning each visit into a collaboration between the viewer's mind and the space.

Blackmoore has been an artist in residence at Lighthouse Immersive (2022) and TEAD One (2024). He has exhibited at Superchief Gallery and Lightbox's Creative Code Art Festival in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit's Monster Drawing Rally, and Tangent Gallery and Padzieski Gallery in the Detroit area; internationally at sticker and street art festivals in Zagreb, Bucharest, Glasgow and Uberlândia; and online in The Wrong — New Digital Art Biennale and Black Rock City VR. He curated and organized the exhibitions HARMONY: The Cosmic Connection and //ENTER. in Detroit, and has collaborated with Lighthouse Immersive, Live Nation, Atlantic Records and Xfinity.
