'Choose Your Player' was Sutu's first solo exhibition in the US. Like much of Sutu's work the collection explores themes in contemporary digital culture. This project is a commentary on the popular Picture for Profile (PFP) culture within the NFT community, where users adopt a unique profile pic to represent their identity in the Metaverse.
The avatars are deliberately retro-futuristic harking back to the early days of videogame culture when we were all first asked to 'Choose your player'. Each avatar design features hand drawn frame by frame animation and futuristic motifs suggesting the avatars might have powers unique to the Metaverse environment and not bound to the laws of our physical world.
Neonz are a limited collection of 10,000 unique avatars, randomly generated from futuristic neon character art by Sutu. Each avatar generated includes hand drawn static and animated art rooted in cyber culture. Like an exquisite corpse the combination of character traits include, unique head gear, face paint, clothing, masks and glasses.
All of these traits will be pivotel for navigating the Sutuverse! deliberately retro-futuristic harking back to the early days of videogame culture when we were all first asked to 'Choose your player'.
