Luis Ponce makes wild, mind-bending digital art. His gifs and films are intoxicatingly bright with impossible perspectives that spin and swerve like an M.C. Escher painting. In fact, Ponce is a self-confessed superfan. And you can see it in his art. Dazzling stripes and patterns meet random body parts and swirling tubes of rollercoaster-esque architecture. It comes as no surprise that Ponce’s ideas are as complex as his visuals. “So much influences me. Cosmogonic myths, posthumanism, the human mind, perception of light and everyday experiences”. Just about everything is in his work. And that’s...

Early Memories
Cartoon song intros were something meaningful when I was young. Ren and Stimpy’s intro theme Dog Pound Hop #2 hits close to the heart. I remember dancing like no one was watching each time that played. I was 9 years old and I was in love with that rockabilly, catchy jazz tune.
