ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Huntrezz Benjamin Janos Hunter is as much herself as she is the information being relayed to you now through this sequence of symbols. Born to Hungarian architect Szabó Gyöngyi and metal icon Scoonie Gee Hunter in Los Angeles, CA, Huntrezz is a light-speed organism determined to reach a distant Antarctic destiny by way of a circuitous path of digital synthesis involving animated video/game art, 3D printed armor, Augmented Reality, sustainable architecture, and rhyme performance along with a laundry list of other, increasingly esoteric practices. Janos emerges from her various disguises to present afro-futurist media designed to delight, confound, and confront those of us entangled in this epoch. She has showcased her work across platforms such as Redcat, Honor Fraser Gallery, Tate Museum, The Modern, MoMA, Adult Swim, Postmaster’s Gallery, Vellum LA, Transfer Gallery, The Athens Biennale, LACMA, Photographer’s Gallery, Torrance Art Museum, and Onassis ONX. She has a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts and an MS from the University of Southern California.
