Jon Rafman

New Age Demanded (Swerveman Silver)

2014

A digitally conceived and physically manifested sculpture, Jon Rafman's *New Age Demanded (Swerveman Silver)* emerges from the intersection of virtual aesthetics and tangible form through 3D printed photopolymer resin coated in acrylic polyurethane paint. The work reflects Rafman's ongoing investigation into internet culture, gaming, and the digital uncanny, translating the fluid, hyper-rendered surfaces of computer-generated imagery into a physical object. The sleek, metallic finish bridges the gap between the simulated and the real, embodying the tension between online fantasy and material existence.
