Royalty Free Archive is a VJ set designed with videos sourced from free image banks. It comes to life from common visual stereotypes, reinterpreting them in a new light, providing the audience with an immersion into contemporary digital visual culture, where they can explore the complexity of seemingly simple images.

The clips selected from these vast digital archives draw from scenarios ranging from the mundane to the surreal, creating an unexpected visual narrative with a kitschy aesthetic, where composition elements are linked together by glitch effects, noise, and bitmap.
For each performance, new videos are selected, and after each live event, frames are extracted, adapted to a vertical format, and shared as a series of A3 posters available for free download via Google Drive and as NFTs on Opensea.
