Ray TintoriRay Tintori

Ray Tintori, a name synonymous with brilliance, is an artist in the truest sense. A filmmaking wunderkind, he has carved a niche for himself in the realm of music videos, conquering the minds of viewers and critics alike. Bursting on the scene with MGMT's “Time to Pretend,"—a spacey, eccentric, and visually breathtaking odyssey, he cemented his role in the industry. It was this video, laden with a psychedelic aesthetic that catapulted him to fame.

Rendered in Tintori’s lens, even outlandish ideas become poignant pieces of art. Take for example, "Electric Feel” and “The Youth,” where he cleverly blends realism with elements of surrealism, crafting the band's trademark psychedelic ambiance. Interestingly, despite being colorblind, Tintori has effectively used vivid and contrasting colors as a powerful storytelling tool. His work with other music monoliths such as Chairlift, Killer Mike, and The Cool Kids further attest to his innovative approach. One memorable video was for Chairlift’s 'Evident Utensil,' which is cited as one of the earliest examples of ‘databending’—an art form that manipulates data to create an aesthetic. An accidental technological glitch turned into a visual feast, reminding us all that innovation often sits at the crossroads of accident and artistic audacity.
