FRACTALTRIBE PRESENTS FRACTALFEST

ONGOING SIDE PROJECT

Since 2016, I’ve been using my free time and love for electronic music to get involved with Fractaltribe. They throw an annual psychedelic music and arts festival called Fractalfest

I write all their materials (website, social, festival-related), create content, and provide advertising ideas. I started their psychedelic themed Fractal Film Festival. I also work on the land every year, where we host the festival—landscaping and building, beautifying, decor, etc.

I was involved with ‘17, ‘18, and ‘22, currently working on ‘23!


FRACTALFEST 2022 - SUPERTRUTH™

We are constantly inundated by outsider efforts to manipulate our thoughts and feelings about the world and each other. Our emotions are broken down into algorithms. Our opinions are moulded by headlines. Is there such thing as "the truth"?

At Fractalfest 2022, we aimed to break free and shine light on our own true narratives. Embracing the spirit of friendship, art, music, wellness, and culture. Celebrating real human experience, and questioning what it is about life that really matters. We did this by embracing the SuperTruth™, a parody of the forces that attempt to control us. It was an honest to weirdness homage to the inherent silliness of life.

PROMO - PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

On-ground signage: Tickers

The Truth Square™ stage featured 4 scrolling text tickers, for which I wrote copy across 4 different themes to scroll throughout the 4-day festival. The aim was mostly to fuck with the people who read it, but also to bring our theme to life and have some fun.

CONVERSATIONAL TICKER

Hey you. Yes, I’m talking to you. No, not that guy, YOU. The one with the nose.

〰️

Have you ever wanted to *knock knock knock* on the glass of reality to check whether you might BE the show instead of the one watching the show?

〰️

I’ve found that life, these days, feels like a TV show. Every year is a new season. Every season brings a unique form of misery and the writers get more creative and more brutal with every episode.

〰️

Doesn’t it just leave you wondering? What’s next? What truly defines you? Or me? Or us? What isn’t fake news? What is the truth? Well, behold the SuperTruth™. This place is kinda like an unbirthday party for everyone—especially you—where nothing makes sense and reality is slightly askew.

〰️

The only truth is the subjectivity of art, the depth of music, and the inherent silliness of life.

〰️

Trust nothing. Feel everything. Stomp like your life depends on it.

〰️

Don’t worry, you are not in the simulation. Yet.

〰️

Ever wondered if trees can smell? Sure they don’t have noses but they do breathe so maybe you don’t need a nose to smell after all. The only reason I ask is because that tree over there definitely looks like it smelt what you dealt.

〰️

If you are here and reading this, please know that this is not a coincidence.

〰️

Do you have good handwriting? Discuss.

〰️

Pssst human, question for you. What is that transparent liquid all of you are obsessed with and drinking all the time? What does it taste like? Uhh can I have some?

〰️

Reminder: You can’t make someone love you.

〰️

Is anyone else surprised ‘Karen’ isn’t a more popular porn category? Like, there’s so much potential. I could see a whole category called ‘bangable Karens’. I won’t get mad if you make money off this idea. Go. Be rich.

〰️

If something AMAZING happened to you RIGHT THIS SECOND, who is the first person you’d wanna tell? The person you thought of seems really cool.

〰️

Did you leave the stove on when you left the house? Ha ha. Don’t worry you probably didn’t. I’m just fucking with you.

〰️

But did you?

〰️

Don’t worry, there’s nothing strange going on behind you. You aren’t missing anything. Don’t turn around.

〰️

You’re gonna make some memories this weekend that you may never forget. Maybe you’ve made them already. Maybe they’re about to happen as soon as you walk away from this stage. Something exciting is waiting for you. I’m sure of it.

〰️

Turn to the closest person on your right and introduce yourself. Do it now!!! Give them a hug, go on. Don’t be shy. But ask them nicely first.

〰️

Someone out there is thinking of you at this very second. It’s me.

〰️

Give someone around you a genuine compliment.

〰️

Is it just me or does anyone else also like to make spall smelling mistakes in their sentences?

〰️

I’m not your friend, buddy. I’m not your buddy, bro. I’m not your bro, dude. I’m not your dude, guy. I’m not your guy, man. I’m not your man…jk I’ll be your man.

〰️

Pro Tip: Dance like nobody’s watching. But watch like everybody’s dancing. Let your eyes have some fun.

〰️

Someone here today is probably having the best day of their lives. It could be you.

〰️

Hey, if no one’s already mentioned, you look really cute!

〰️

This is your reminder to hydrate.

〰️

Hey if they made a movie about Fractalfest, who do you think they’d cast to play you?

〰️

I’m so happy you’re here. Are you happy you’re here?

〰️

Are you healed or are you just trying not to think about it?

〰️

Okay, everyone who is reading this, take a deep breath in…………… Hold………… And now breathe out…………………… Take another deep breath in……………… Hold…………………… and now breathe out……………… NOW DANCE!

〰️

What’s your favourite body part? Tell the person to your right.

〰️

Fractilians with party tricks, we demand to see one, right now!

〰️

PSA: Try DMT.

〰️

Intend your goddamn puns.

〰️

Hello? Can you hear me? This is your captain speaking, we are experiencing some turbulence on the dance floor. The shimmy signs have been turned on. Please commence rustling your jimmies at ungodly speeds.

〰️

I'm really feeling this music. I wish I could dance but the only move I know is the wave ~~~~~~o.o~~~~~~

〰️

What's your favourite seasoning? Discuss.

〰️

Before the end of the day, introduce yourself to one new person. Can’t be anyone you already met ok? I’ll be watching. >_>

〰️

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

〰️

Stop reading this, we paid good money for these artists - pay attention to them!

〰️

Ok fine, you can read this. I’m flattered.

〰️

All you need to do is vibe.

Hey you. Yes, I’m talking to you. No, not that guy, YOU.

I also wrote the backstories to ‘The Patron Saints of the Digiverse’; characters that featured as part of the design theme for the SuperSactuary™ stage.

FRACTAL FILM FESTIVAL 2023


FRACTALFEST 2018 PROMO VIDEOS

The theme was <art/ificial>, a celebration of music, art, and creativity in the face of automation and technological advancement. We’re pretty sure AI will never replace our creativity but we invited our guests to think about that a little during the festival. My film festival featured several thought provoking shorts and submissions addressing the subject.
