Artist Brian Kane‘s latest sculpture and light art explores the permeable membrane between cyberspace and IRL.
Witty, thoughtful, and gorgeously DIY, Brian’s work pokes fun at our obsession with screentime — inviting us to become immersively AFK in a public gallery.
Brian’s work ranges from inflatable sculpture to ‘memewear’, websites, computer software, painting, photography, performance and video.
