The Plastic Citizen is a Memphis-based multidisciplinary artist working somewhere between experimental art, design culture, and controlled chaos.
His work moves across mediums, collage, texture creation, digital manipulation, performance art, and live streaming, often blending physical materials with digital processes. Much of his practice is rooted in a DIY and post-punk philosophy: embracing distortion, imperfection, and handmade artifacts in a world increasingly dominated by algorithmic aesthetics and AI-generated imagery.
Through projects like large texture archives, experimental design assets, and live art performances that impose unusual physical or conceptual constraints, his work explores questions of authorship, control, and the strange relationship between humans and the systems they create.
Humor, satire, and a touch of absurdity often run through his work, pushing against the idea that art must fit neatly into traditional categories.
Outside the studio, he performs as a DJ, curating goth, post-punk, and industrial music for live events and online streams. Music, visuals, and performance all feed into the same creative ecosystem, one where experimentation is encouraged and creative boundaries are constantly challenged.
