bongdoe is a pseudonymous artist working in retro glitch computer-generated imagery and 3D art, building a fictional world he calls Archivem. His work adapts classic paintings, historical statues and web3 culture alongside references to video games and film. By his own account, his practice began with lo-fi dreamscape imagery before shifting toward a mix of classical painting references, political commentary and internet memes.
In 2023 Sotheby's included his 1/1 GIF surprise drop from the last revenant in its “Glitch: Beyond Binary” auction, the third work in his archiverare collection on SuperRare. The piece reflects on the risk of releasing an NFT into the world, its skull imagery drawing on Helheim, the Norse underworld, as a symbol of obsolete souls. Also in 2023, “Ephemeral Visions: Exploring Transience through Art” at AOTM (Art of This Millennium) featured his works Sempiternal Memories and The Regal Romance. His work has also been shown internationally through ArtCrush's touring digital billboard exhibitions.
