The walls were coated with countless layers of white latex paint. Factory space. He knew this kind of room, this kind of building: the tenants would operate in the interzone where art wasn’t quite crime, crime not quite art.
The title for the body of work is inspired by the book by William Gibson's Neuromancer, the first in the Sprawl trilogy and considered a Cyberpunk genre classic.
The works depict abstract figures who represent Cyber Hackers, present day bad actors with futuristic dystopian and artificial intelligent features, whose main objective is to cause major disruptions in various fields including political, economic and mostly societal.
We have all now become potential targets for this type of nefarious activity as our dependency on technology ever increases.
