‘ EVERYONE LOVES MUSCLES ’
A film by STChM in collaboration with MERCY FILMS | WATCH
The Mycelium Flute Project, conceived by Swedish artist Lars Holmström, sought to merge art and biology but spiraled into ecological disaster on Easter Island. Amid legal battles and allegations of negligence, STCHM, an early collaborator, investigates the project's fallout in an ongoing documentary exploring ambition, environmental harm, and systemic accountability
Rotten Scowndrell is an avant-garde, live punk performance series held at the Worcester Home for the Deaf—a space where sound meets silence in a provocative clash of sensory experience. This project, by STChM, challenges the conventions of live music by staging deliberately loud, frenetic punk shows in an environment where traditional hearing is disrupted or absent.

STChM has crafted prototype Moses sandals as part of the visual and symbolic design for Becoming Moses, a limited TV series. These sandals are designed to evoke an ancient, rugged aesthetic while embodying the journey of transformation at the heart of the series
“We’re fascinated by the artisan turned artist—how craft evolves into expression, and how personal histories shape creative voices. Our latest project delves into the life of Gerald Schumpter, exploring his intricate work and the 20-year feud with his neighbor that inspired it. This is more than a story about art; it’s about identity mythology, the ripple effects of false accusations, and how small communities, driven by idle lives and petty vindications, create a unique backdrop for growth and resilience. STChM is privileged to have been entrusted with providing the SynthoGraphs of both Gerald and his work, offering a deeper visual and narrative exploration of the complexities of truth, reputation, and the powerful intersection of craft and conflict.”
'‘STChM’
Stikkimaan Fresh is STChM’s ongoing exploration into the limits of mind-body cognition through a unique and complex hand game. This fast-paced, abstract duel challenges players to execute a series of intricate finger and hand movements in non-linear patterns, pushing cognitive, physical, and vocal precision to their limits. As players face off, they combine speed, accuracy, and vocal affirmation, honing their reflexes and mental agility in a continuous loop of movement and focus.
Inner Monologues: An Anatomical Perspective,
STChM extends an unconventional invitation to medical students at the prestigious Polish Institute of Corporeal Studies, challenging them to submit academic-style papers from the unique perspectives of individual organs. Each submission imagines life within the skeleton as an organ might experience it, crafting first-person narratives or reflections that merge medical knowledge with existential musings. This project explores the biological and philosophical through the lens of a heart, a lung, or a liver reflecting on their role, relationships, and perspective within the body
In The Quantum Typist, STChM presents a minimalist stage play in the spirit of Waiting for Godot, exploring a lone protagonist locked in an endless pursuit to predict the outcome of a “quantum typewriter”—a machine that, with each keystroke, generates text as random and unfathomable as quantum probabilities. This one-act play serves as a meditation on the author’s fragile role in a world where artificial intelligence encroaches on the territory of human creativity. The protagonist becomes a symbol of the artist in an age where the “authentic” voice competes with the artificial.

STChM is thrilled to welcome John and Andrew, collectively known as the Michael Noise Brothers, into Partners Incorporate. Partners Incorporate is STChM’s unique incorporated entity, representing the collective creative interests of individuals and companies who wish to be “incorporated.”
To be incorporated into Partners Incorporate is to dissolve the boundaries of individual ownership. Creative partnerships and contributions become a unified part of the entity, transcending the concept of personal authorship. The individual remains visible until the project’s release, at which point they are fully “incorporated,” and the project ceases to belong to the individual—it becomes the property of Partners Incorporate as a whole
