AKA the Emperor of Antarctica, creates infinitely detailed graphic images that blur the lines between reality and digital fiction. Truly original, these designs and experiments are nothing like the barrage of recycled themes in modern graphic design that have become the norm.
As expressed on his website, his work is "perhaps best described as neutral yet intricate meditations on form and human perception. The large-scale laser prints inspired by mathematics, symmetrical, Islamic construction patters, and his developing interest in introspectivity, subvert the traditional distinction between form and content by seeking a purity of form that is inherently suspicious of narrative intent. In this way, the Emperor in Antarctica can be seen as an exponent of a complex dynamic that forces the viewer to contemplate the significance of form without narrative, matter without story."
