Comic Sans :(, Extreme Foodie, OpuLenCe, The Pretzel Goddess, Fast Food and Pitaya Goddess
Comic Sans :(, Extreme Foodie, OpuLenCe, The Pretzel Goddess, Fast Food and Pitaya Goddess are face filters part of a series called Physionauts. They collect everything from food to cartoon characters, from technology to plants, toys, animals, everyday objects, celebrities... The Physionauts are enhanced reflections of the collective culture largely conveyed by the Internet and social media. Agglomerates of everything that can be consumed by mouth or eyes, they respond to their scopic impulses and they are hungry.
Meta-terrestrial aliens who come to life when we incarnate them, Frankenstein-Mandalas of an era of massively visual culture, they absorb, emanate, infuse, regurgitate... They come from memes because they are made with the elements of our mass consumerist culture and our behavior system transmitted from one individual to another by our interconnected networks.
The Physionauts are the navigators-gleaners of global culture.
