My work explores PTSD and other mental conditions, abuse, coming to terms with the self, and other personal experiences. I reach into my discomfort to depict my intense fear of the world and myself. I choose to primarily work digitally because the digital realm fundamentally is limited and quantized, yet allows for change and possibility, comparable to the human, and more specifically, the traumatized mind.
About:
Cynthia Clyde or xmyri is a musician and new media artist based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area focusing on interactive video + installation, electronic/computer based music & sound design, and digital image making. Starting as a pianist and drummer, Cynthia began to create her own music on a laptop after discovering staple IDM records of the 90s. Through diving into online electronic music making communities, she gained an interest in audio-reactive visual art. Since then, her creative interests have expanded to include 3D art, interactivity, video, and sound design.
Cynthia has exhibited at the 500x and the Greater Denton Arts Council, and is currently pursuing her BFA in New Media Arts at the University of North Texas. In 2025 she participated in and collaborated on inter-media performance show Authenticity Pending, directed by David Stout of CEMI and the UNT College of Music. She releases music independently as ‘xmyri’ and has released an EP under German label Cime.
