sgt_slaughtermelon is a project in creating digital art with glitch aesthetics and wild collage techniques - sometimes using Processing scripts that are altered or coded from scratch - and almost always using some kind of geometric composition. The themes range from cyberpunk to mysticism, low-brow kitsch and absolute pretentious neo-suprematism (as pretentious as you can get with a name like slaughtermelon). Posts are almost always 6500x6500px at 300 dpi, occasionally with deliberately pixellated textures. The ongoing project includes creating fun lore and silly stories to go with some of the art - with references like Lisa Frank, episodes of Black Mirror or goofy alternate versions of artists and visionaries that only exist in the feverish imagination of the internet.

THE DROP
"What do I really need?" A deep contemplation following the success of sgt_slaughtermelon’s autoRAD project inspired a crucial question of human necessity: What do we as humans need in order to not only survive, but thrive? In the "needs" collection, glitch abstractionist sgt_slaughtermelon delves into a geometric exploration of needs- stripping down to basic forms as a means of differentiating the necessary from the extraneous.
