AJ Fusco

WHO: My name is AJ Fusco, I'm 26 years old.

WHERE: I live in Columbus, Ohio, where I'm from. I just moved back here after living in Chicago and New York for the past 8 years.



HOW: Manipulating graphite, ink, and digital information.



WHAT: Abstract images that incorporate visual phenomena of the natural world, anatomical and biological structures as points of reference to create a credible illusory space that is nonetheless inexplicit and nebulous. I am interested in the way inaccuracies and malfunctions of our visual sense inform our perception of the world, and in exploiting these weaknesses.

My digital work addresses the same concerns by aestheticizing digital corruption and artifacts in found images, drawing an analogy between glitches in digital files and the imperfection of human consciousness: the way our representation of the world is formed through the lossy compression techniques employed by our sense organs.



WHEN/WHY: I've been drawing and making things since I was a little kid, it's a compulsion.

Mr. Fusco is on top of shit, no doubt.
