For more than three decades, Stephen Hendee has refined a techno-futurist aesthetic that is both dystopian and filled with longing. A pioneer of the low-poly aesthetic, he translates the vectorized geometry of virtual design into physical materials. Inspired by digital culture and science fiction, Hendee's real-world simulations of virtual spaces, topographic-like drawings, and intricate sculptures and prints imagine speculative creatures, spaces, and forms. As our dependence on technology deepens, Hendee's work counters with a warning.

Presciently highlighting the dark potential of technology-human interplay since the dawn of the internet, Hendee’s work is more urgent than ever as we catapult into an uncertain artificial intelligence-driven future.
