Videowaste is a Chicago-based collective specializing in CRT video walls, analog visuals, and custom installations. We create immersive, vintage-inspired visual experiences for events, venues, and brands. It was founded as a collaborative effort, built by people experimenting with old video gear, sharing ideas, and figuring things out together. That collective, hands-on approach is still at the core of everything we do.

We are a team of creatives who specialize in building unique video experiences.

our capabilities include establishing stage designs that utilize live analog visuals, projection mapping, live camera feeds, and custom video content.

From Live events to music videos & set design, we create cohesive and engaging experiences.

At Videowaste, we work with a rotating group of artists, technicians, and collaborators who each bring their own perspective into the process.

Projects are built collaboratively from early concept to final install with an emphasis on experimentation, shared knowledge, and hands-on problem solving.

We provide CRT video wall rentals, custom visual installations, and live VJ services throughout Chicago and the surrounding areas. Our work is often featured in live music venues, galleries, private events, and brand activations looking for a distinct analog aesthetic.

Whether it’s a small stack of CRT TVs or a full-scale multi-screen installation, Videowaste delivers one-of-a-kind visual systems built from restored vintage equipment.
