Steve Venright is a Canadian visual
artist and poet whose books include Spiral Agitator (Coach House Books, 2000), Floors
of Enduring Beauty (Mansfield
Press, 2007), and The Least You Can Do Is Be Magnificent: Selected & New
Writings (Feed Dog/Anvil Press,
2017). Through his Torpor Vigil Records label, he has released several albums
of somniloquies, soundscapes, and songs, including Dreaming Like Mad with
Dion McGregor: Yet More Outrageous Recordings of the
World’s Most Renowned Sleeptalker and Samuel Andreyev’s The Tubular West. As a purveyor of
neurotechnology in the 1990s, he exploited the psychedelic potential of pulsed
light with his Hallucintatorium—a sort of retinal-circus sideshow that earned
him the designation of “Toronto’s prime purveyor of non-chemically altered
states” (Eye Weekly). Steve’s digital abstract images and
patterns—“variegraphs” and “tryptiles”—are available online from the Torpor
Vigil Art store, which peddles everything from credenzas to beach towels.
