A love story to a childhood built on meme culture. The wonder of infinitely trawling through Geocities webrings, the dash home from school to watch Toonami, the joy of discovering a Newgrounds flash game, the excitement of AIM and ICQ notifications, the constant refresh of the boards of 4chan. The motion of a time capsule brought to life, that energy tasted once again with the rise of Web3. Created by a mixture of AI-Collaboration with Dalle2, emoji application with Glitche'-pro, and hand-altered elements for stylistic cohesion.
Catalogue Notes
On this artwork, the artist writes:
“The aesthetic was a love letter to my memories of early 2000s web and geek/outsider culture. I’m from a small town in the middle of a cornfield, and the world felt small when I was growing up. When I got my first computer, suddenly the world opened up; the possibilities and excitement and mania and irreverence of the web showed me somewhere I finally felt I belonged.”
Artist Bio
Claire Silver is an anonymous AI-Collaborative artist who works with oil, acrylic, collage, photography, and different digital media to create her work. She often blends the classical style and mythos into her art, collaboratively producing work that feels at once familiar and strange. Her work explores themes of innocence, trauma, the hero's journey, and how our view of them will change in an increasingly transhumanist future. Claire’s art can be found in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, has been at Sotheby's London and Christie's New York, and has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals all over the world.
