Shamus Clisset

FakeShamus (Shamus Clisset) rides the multidimensional aether with his 1-million polygon sidekicks, carrying 7 million reasons to hate his life (but he stays positive (mentally, not for covid, *cough-cough*)). The energy he consumes could power the 50 least-populous states for a year and he radiates his heat like a Noctua set up. He’s got 15-20 years in the game of trying to out-do all the minimalists, cubists, and MFA grads via 3D rendering, animations, and physics simulations, all baked out in slam-dunk glory and glistening silver countach. His favorite color is Void and his favorite ice cream is melted. Shamus's work is an obsessive exploration of the trappings and failings of contemporary technology and uncertain identity. Humorously deconstructing iconic pop-cultural landmarks and historical demons is his approach to this critique, while also embodying many of the absurdities he aims to lay bare. FakeShamus is simultaneously the creator and destroyer of his own world, an embodiment of our modern techno-dystopia, and a violent explorer of all potential futures.
