is seek a way out of our perpetual commodification hellscape of capitalism by using reclaimed audiovisual media to make the old new again.

Death Rattled began out of a desire to explore the assembling, juxtaposition, and disfiguration of recognizable symbols.

Beginning with visual collage, Death Rattled’s work now spans a variety of multimedia and audiovisual mediums (e.g., digital collage, music genre mashups, music videos, soundscapes, sampling, etc.). DR is anti-cop and anti-racist. Bigots fuck off.

The project is led by Manuel J. Perez III, an interdisciplinary artist and experimental performer based out of the northeastern USA. Their artistic work has been shared internationally (Turkey, Germany, Canada, etc.) within the bland white walls of institutions such as IBU, TU-Berlin, and Wesleyan University, as well as among DIY communities across the world. As Death Rattled, their visual and sonic art thrives within DIY spontaneous performance communities across the USA and abroad.
