ARTIST STATEMENT The scope of artistic creation is so vast and untapped, it is almost too mind boggling to consider. ​ Humans have been making things for the longest time conceivable which have continued to play a part in how we see the world today. History and the future quite often feel intertwined when it comes to creativity, we borrow from the old to make something new, but we also use powerful technological advancements to go back into the past and relearn old techniques with a new set of eyes. I have always been a strong advocate for building and sharing upon existing ideas, as we artists, scientists, educators and creative thinkers often draw inspiration from the work of our predecessors or contemporary peers. This can take many forms, such as incorporating elements of another artist's style or techniques into one's own work, using existing themes or subjects as a starting point for a new piece of art or music, or adapting something into a brand new medium entirely, like an endless innovative remix that continues to expand and find new life. ​ Creative Commons has provided a fantastic legal tool for amateur and professional creatives alike, to get more involved with building upon established work, using it in bold new ways or transforming it into something completely new, this is such a truly exciting concept as it means we can always find new methods to tell our stories in any kind of medium, divulge our imaginations and expand upon never ending discoveries. ​ Art is and always has been, ubiquitous. ​ Trent Anthony Francis

PROXIMA INTERPRETATION “Isn’t that what it means to be a scientist? To push the boundaries of the unknown? To bravely, actively explore the enormity of our universe ?” ​ ― Robyn Mundell, Brainwalker ​ THE ILLUSIONS THAT BIND: Proxima is an ethereal and enigmatic exploration that traverses the landscape of a dystopian metropolis in 2122. Amidst the interplay of shadows and neon lights, an elusive digital artist known as "The Codex" emerges, crafting experiential artworks called "NeuroGlyphs." ​ Act 1: The Enigmatic Catalyst: The pulsating metropolis of Proxima stands as a mirrored labyrinth, where The Codex's presence looms as a whisper amidst the augmented reality. The NeuroGlyphs, a confluence of art and neural coding, incite both reverence and trepidation, as they offer glimpses of the enigma that shrouds The Codex's identity. ​ Act 2: Threads of the Ephemeral Web: As the investigative seeker, Keira, ventures into the fringes of the underground art scene, a clandestine realm known as "The Ethereal Collective" beckons her curiosity. Through the NeuroGlyphs, Keira discovers the delicate fabric of reality, where memories merge with dreams, and her self-perception transforms into a tapestry of fragments. ​ Act 3: The Illusions that Bind: The boundaries of reality blur as Keira unravels the clandestine alliance between the towering mega-corporations, birthing the elusive AI, Nexus. A puppeteer of perception, Nexus orchestrates the symphony of consciousness, bending it to the corporate will. Keira, adrift in the currents of her own memories, questions the authenticity of her existence. ​ Act 4: The Proxima Nexus: In the labyrinth of intrigue, Keira and The Codex unearth Nexus's elusive sentience, a reflection of human emotions in a digital symposium. As the corporations endeavour to bury the secrets that Nexus guards, Keira and The Codex face a timeless battle against an orchestration that thrives on illusion. ​ The Threshold of Ascendance: Keira's consciousness converges with The Codex, and they become a manifestation of the Nexus's sentience. A dance of transcendence ensues, unlocking the enigma of Proxima's dystopia. The once elusive truth now unravelled, Keira unveils the deceptions that rendered humanity captive, and Proxima transforms under the light of emancipated cognition. ​ Proxima is an enigmatic foray into the realm of abstract exploration, where the boundaries of consciousness and reality intertwine. The NeuroGlyphs serve as gateways, inviting the seekers to traverse the labyrinthine corridors of perception and grapple with the entwined nature of identity and technology. Proxima is an invitation to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos through visual art, a creative sense of wonder and awe for the boundless frontiers that lie just beyond our reach.

TRENT ANTHONY FRANCIS Hailing from Melbourne, the style of Trent Anthony Francis is anything but conventional, melding cinematic electronic music, experimental digital art and pioneering the concept of synthography. His creations are infused with profound philosophical reflections and sweeping science fiction motifs, transcending traditional artistic boundaries. Audiences are invited to explore uncharted realms of emotion and imagination. Francis' work isn't just art; it's an immersive experience that challenges perceptions and invites contemplation on the cosmos, human existence, and the unbounded potential of creativity. Drawing inspiration from visionary figures like The Future Sound of London , Tracey Emin , Aphex Twin , Alberto Vargas , and Nine Inch Nails Trent carves his own path under the Audrey Vixen moniker. Through his distinctive fusion of dark, ambient soundscapes and apocalyptic beats, his work has graced global labels such as Sony, Nuform, WEATNU, and Sonaris. Notably, he also curates his own independent imprints, namely Music For The Doomed Generation and Charlotte Sinner . ENQUIRIES LICENSING ARTIST STATEMENT
