White Cobra (Computer Vision Version)

Yeeeessssssssss, he has powers over you. Do not look directly at your screen, or you will succumb to the illusion. Best close one eye and sort of soft-focus your vision. This helps you ignore the digital artifacts of an (almost) photoreal 3D model, while also making you look a little skeptical (smart?). The snake is traditionally a symbol of evil. And this one's white, so, you know, especially untrustworthy. If I'm being honest I didn't even bother to give him a tail, so if you fall for it, it just means you're already hypnotized.

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.
