Cyberpunk Culture

Part of a series of images from the liquid metal, carbo-plastic, hydrogel and permacrete core of visual creators on the Internet. Images that stir my senses and evoke plots and concepts for what I’d like to see (or fear) in the future.
If you consider artists like LADY GAGA to be at the forefront of the fusion of cyberpunk concepts with present day reality, then Californian Joji Kojima is one of those creative drivers helping such artists realise that vision.
Kojima produces captivating work that pushes up against the boundaries of surealism and the bizarre.
And yet it is work that successfully invades the mind of the audience rather than repel it.
.
Most importantly, Kojima is helping to forge a platform for other creatives to step onto and explore these themes in an environment where culture is being redefined at an ever increasing rate of change. Implant technology, synthetic biology, cybernetic prosthetics, exoskelton mobility systems, vat grown muscle and spray-on skin, and the evolution of viable bipedal robots and aeriel drones. Military and medical tech is backwashing onto society, whether you like it or not; some people are embracing it whilst others gather together online or in physical groups to protest against it. And in the near future, roughly 20 minutes into the future, the influence of such technology on every day life is going to escalate into the realm of the profound.
