Future Nostalgia with Matty Furious

The Artist: Matty Furious

Matty Furious joined SuperRare in November 2018, one of the first 50 artists to mint there. Matty's art heralds the tokenized echoes of the early electronic device and Internet era. The blue screen background of 'Shakespeare CHAN' or the playing card computer poker hands of 'Gamble Your Life Away' take us back to an earlier electronic time. Matty’s interest in early 1.0 Internet makes his art a gift for those of us who remember the dulcet tones of dialup. 

The Collection: MULTIPASS-Y3K

MULTIPASS-Y3K is a collection of five futuristic short film vignettes that introduce crypto native stories told in a landscape littered with the atrophy of the early, mostly forgotten Internet. Here we see ALL TIME HIGH IN SECTOR 0, a riff on XCOPY's All Time High with the reapers boat sailing through a land of fallen Internet 1.0 billboards, and strung up totems to previous guests of the reaper. Matty Furious is the artistic equivalent of the Wayback Machine for a pre-tokenized era.

A Specific Artwork: Annunciation 2

Annunciation 2 is futuristic spin on Benedetto Gennari’s “Annuciation" painted in 1686. The original painting is recoated with the kind of glitch we remember from CRT television sets hooked up to SEGA or early Playstation. The angel Gabriel on the left is tell the Virgin Mary on the right that she is to have the Son of God (upper right.) This private conversation is seen through the lens of a CCTV with facial ID tracking and analyzing even the most sacred religious scripture.
