Todd Moyer traces his whole career to the eighth grade, when he combined a shop class project with his home stereo and a string of Christmas lights and built himself a disco. He grew up in the first digital age, learning to program on an early Hyundai 80286 PC, and roughly 30 years later the impulse is the same: take the technology and turn it into something people can feel. The conversations he wants to open are about culture, history and the environment.
Joy is a powerful gateway to deeper conversations.
Before opening his studio in 2014, Moyer spent a decade at NextEngine helping bring the world's first desktop 3D scanner to market. Since then the work has gotten big. For Electric Daisy Carnival he built a 37-foot, human-powered rotating caterpillar, projection-mapped live by four HD projectors a hundred feet away, which went on to EDC Las Vegas and EDC New York. He was Technical Director on Arboreal, a 2,000-square-foot piece at the National Children's Museum of England, and his laser-and-projection loom, Illoominated, returned in 2025 at Colorado's LUMENAURA Festival. Make Magazine and Vice have both come calling. Based in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, he now runs 11 Dimensions Inc. with partner Rocio Zarate.
At Hopscotch San Antonio, Laser Graffiti hands you a spray can that fires a laser. Point it at the wall and digital paint appears where the beam lands, dripping and spreading like the real thing, while the system tracks every dot in real time across several surfaces. Nobody reads instructions; they just start spraying, and groups end up collaborating on one wall. In Portland his work is woven into the building itself: Medusa, the LED chandelier in the lobby, The Swizzle, the animated light and signage running through the hallways, and the light piece in the Lounge. He also collaborated with Waechter Architecture on the design of the Portland venue.
