ILLUMINATING THE FUTURE

1980k is a multidisciplinary artist who navigates both the digital and physical realms of art, exploring the tension between human agency and technological control. His digital works dive into dystopian themes, focusing on the interactions between humans and machines, surveillance, and blockchain technology, highlighting the power dynamics of a connected world.

In the physical space, 1980k's installations incorporate cutting-edge techniques like LED systems and RFID-embedded pieces, creating immersive, experiential artwork. As an experimental artist, 1980k merges art and technology to challenge the boundaries of how art is experienced and owned.

As a multi-generation artist, 1980k's creative journey was shaped by a family heritage of musicians, painters, and wood crafters. Early experiences with crafts like soldering, painting, and illustration laid the foundation for his experiential approach to art. A true chameleon, 1980k draws inspiration from diverse cultures he's contributed to—from graffiti art and skateboarding to the light and space movement and the evolving realm of crypto art.
