For a little over a year now I have been posting videos to YouTube and TikTok under the channel name, VTWOM, or “Videos To Watch On Mute”. Its my outlet for posting weird, silly, relaxing, meditative, and overall experimental content. A lot of my experiments with animation and lighting design have ended up there.

The name comes from a YouTube playlist I started years ago where I have been collecting similar kinds of videos. The kinds of videos you can put on, mute the TV, and then listening to some music on headphones. Or maybe you put them on in the background at a party.

Last year I discovered I am autistic. Its been an ongoing process that involves a lot of a-ha moments. One of those was realizing that what I had been doing with these videos and YouTube was a form of visual stimming for nervous system regulation. Making and uploading these videos just for myself and this purpose is a fun ongoing exercise in creativity.
