Las Vegas multimedia artist Brett Bolton builds dazzling concert visuals for some of music’s biggest stars

Las Vegas Weekly: One of the walls of the Downtown cocktail lounge Velveteen Rabbit was damaged in an electrical fire years before the bar’s 2013 opening, and owners Christina and Pamela Dylag decided to preserve its scorched beauty with a coat of protective lacquer and a piece of projected, constantly-changing digital art, courtesy of Bolton. When you cast a shadow on Velveteen’s burnt wall, the wall plays with it; the negative space around your outline breaks into woozy, geometric ripples. The burn marks on the wall act as rocks would, diverting those waves in new directions.
