Short Introduction & All That.

Gwyllm here.  I will be serving as curator on the Bardo Matrix site for a bit.  One of the purposes of this blog is to reveal, and simultaneously preserve the works of the artists who helped develop Bardo Matrix through its mutations and permutations.

From the early days in Boulder as The Experimental Cinema group to the publishing efforts in Kathmandu…

The artists who made up the original Bardo Matrix were/are
John Chick
Craig Love
Dana Young
Greg Sharits

Of the four, Craig is still with us. (John passed away March 2013) Craig has been joined by Gwyllm Llwydd to carry on the legacy.

The Bardo Matrix legacy will be slowly unveiled here. We hope you enjoy it, and come to appreciate the beauty & creativity of this collective.

Bright Blessings,
Gwyllm
