Galaxy Brain 2022, engraved LED neon, ink on rice paper.

 

Enduring the current billionaire space race, Galaxy Brain presents a memeconomy of false prophets through an installation of repetitive life-size ink-drawn NASA space suits and rosary-engraved LED neon lights, gleaming names shared by ancient Greek Gods and Mega Corporations.
 

As the Apollo 11 historical auction came to a close and Buzz Aldrin’s space memorabilia auction launched, Galaxy Brain presented a toxic cathedral of capitalist desire, mediated through glowing plastic relics and inked-up counterfeit prophets of a future-for-sale.
