Port Rhombus — Selected Work
Every discipline in service of one goal — work that feels alive, lands hard, and is impossible to ignore.
A god, rebuilt as a machine.
In Aztec myth, Xolotl is the dog-headed god of lightning and fire — the guide who walks souls through the underworld and back. For MODUL’s Xolotl EP, we reimagined that guardian as X0L0TL: a robotic, AI-born idol assembled from signal and scrap, animating in loops that glitch, erode and rebuild. Like the record, it never fully lands — each cycle comes back slightly different. Form becomes form′.
Field test: one bear, one bass cannon.
Set inside the Clean Error universe, the visual for Bearclaw’s re[Ø]load follows a bear test-firing a bass cannon — every blast a low-end shockwave locked to the record. It’s the EP’s “reload theory” made physical: load, fire, fracture, repeat, each shot splintering into a new variant of itself, just like the tracks.
Glitch, measured and made into form.
One of Port Rhombus’ first interactive video captures — a visual system for FRGMNT007, a recovered session of experimental electronics from the Clean Error archive. We treat error as data: measuring glitches, mapping corruption and shaping decay into style. Machines and lore from the universe are re-rendered across multiple states, corroding and resyncing with the music.
“Filmed on a potato” — on purpose.
A loving mockery of the internet’s oldest video insult. We leaned all the way in — datamoshing and corrupting futuristic artifacts until they burst into strange rainbow pixels that spew across the frame. Every rupture is cut to the sound, as volatile and improvised as Potato.exe’s live, DAW-free sessions.
Braindance as a rough-cut collage.
A series of animations by Port Rhombus for rinse.repeat’s Brain Axiom Vol.2 — another form of braindance, translated into rough, collage-style motion. 3D brain renders collide with sketches and frame-by-frame hand animation, mirroring the record’s idea of a broken system that begins to remember itself.
Sites designed and developed from the ground up — clean, fast, and built to last.
