Destin Nordyke is a new media artist who explores humanity's complex relationship with modern technology. Drawing inspiration from visual pioneers like Naim June Paik and Katsuhiro Otomo, Nordyke navigates these unstable times through the creation of their work. Critiquing these neoliberal structures of the western world through their visual and auditory creations, Destin reflects on the ever growing negative consequences this acceleration of technological progression has brought upon our bodies and our minds.
