Opening Reception | Alpha AF: New Digital Works


This show brings together new digital works by Shamus Clisset.

An absurd, self-conscious sense of humor and hyper-real (or hyper-fake) visuals combine into an epically high-res reflection on memes, alternate realities of video games and online identity, actual history, and a bleak future.
