thinking outside the box: experimental & alternative modes of filmmaking

Dustin Klein

Light Projectionist Artist, music industry

Dustin Klein, aka Videometry Visuals, is a lighting and video artist and activist. Dustin is the visual designer and operator best known for his work with the band Papadosio, designing moving light, video wall, and projection mapping designs and installations venues and festivals such as Red Rocks, Electric Forest, Hulaween, and FloydFest. In June of 2020 during the Covid-19 crisis, Dustin, along with longtime friend Alex Criqui, made national news projecting George Floyd’s Face on the Robert E Lee monument in Richmond Va, in support of the Black Lives Matter Protest. The project has turned into an evolving public art initiative called Reclaiming the Monument, which aims to use projection mapping and lighting design to create and document temporary installations as a form of activism towards historical commemorative justice. Dustin graduated UNCW in 2009 with a major in Film and a minor in Psychology, creating a short animation about sacred geometry’s relationship to the universe, called SHAPE, as his thesis.
