This portrait of Elon Musk positions him as both icon and skeptic of modern finance. Logos from Tesla, X, SpaceX, and Grok surround a red rocket bound for Mars, while a blue Filthy Fiat bill sourced from his home in Dallas grounds him to earth. His face, collaged from decaying currency, carries the phrase “Fiat is Worthless, so yes,” underscoring Musk’s lack of belief in a dying monetary system.
‘Tech Apocalypse - Decentral Eyes' embodies my latest development in digital 3D interactive art. I created these works as a result of a reaction to the physical magnetic portraits I have been developing. All elements can be repositioned in 3D space, allowing the collector to explore not only the visual aspects of the elements but also how they overlap, juxtapose, and contrast to each other in an ever-shifting composition. The work can be seen in two of my favorite views, classic 3D side-to-side parallax shift, as well as 3D camera movement. All works are made with code and collage.
The theme of the series centers around today’s technology overlords who have created systems of innovation, spooling power and with it a huge amount of control and influence.
The following characters are included in this series; Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Bezos Sam Altman Jensen Huang

This 7160 token, which acts just like a 721, will include additional storage locations for the pieces of this work. This can be toggled in the case that images are not loading from your geo location. Some ISPs have been blocking image loading, so this helps to prevent that. Transient Labs Launchpad allows token owner to update file hosting version. Active version: AWS
