Malachi Sapia

I'm a 23-year-old artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. I started editing videos at age 11, plugging silly videos of my friends into mobile apps and animating them to music with built-in transitions and effects. My love for making videos has only grown stronger. After graduating college in Los Angeles with a degree in video production, I decided to use my skills in a different field than most of my classmates.

Since 2025 I've dedicated my time to learning on my own. I took classes in TouchDesigner andPangolin BEYOND to expand from video post-production into real-time visuals and lasers, and I keep teaching myself with every project I work on.

As someone with synesthesia, the boundaries between my senses are dynamic. It makes me believe that all our senses are variations on the same underlying language: interconnected, encoded expressions of energy moving as waves through spacetime. The goal of my work is to visualize and materialize the vibrations that let us experience the universe.
