Bby Eco - Earth-conscious pop
“Joris Benjamins, aka Bby Eco, is an Amsterdam based visual artist and recording musician bringing a whole new spirit to ‘earth conscious’ tracks. He recently debuted his new album titled Grow!, which embodies many facets of his personal anecdotes, as well as professional inspirations. It is a harmonious space between tension and tenderness which portrays a profound connection between nature in opposition to music. Bby Eco utilises the wonder of nature as a metaphor and source of energy, funnelling it into something which you can call ‘eco-pop,' bestowing a world into being, sentiment to bloom and serves as a catalyst for an ever-expanding metamorphosis.”
Hiroto Ikeuchi - Fiction as a fact
“From broken motherboards, plastic to electrical wiring intricately moulded together to establish a cyberpunk apocalyptic aesthetic, he amplifies and investigates the connection and relationship between humans and technology. He delves into the world of transhumanism as a spiritual transcendence and the future of humanity in augmented bodies. Not only are his dioramas kicking the cyberpunk genre into even high gear, but they are also made to function. His models raise important questions, albeit fascinating to examine; they also operate and serve as a practical contraption for everyday use.”
