JJFBbennett travels China

  JJFBbennett travels China A travelogue through transit, urban spaces, and metamodern art. Follow the journey from Darwin into mainland China—spanning flight corridors, local bus routes and the architectural textures of Guangzhou. Blending visual observation, posthuman reflections, and ambient digital art, this series explores mobility, modern landscape, and the hero's journey in transit. Travel serves as the raw material for my digital art, transformed through the lens of experiential video. I approach video recording much like a traditional painter uses charcoal: as an immediate, fluid sketch. Where a static photograph freezes time, a video sketch captures gesture, momentum, light shifts, and the living pulse of an environment. Through editing, video becomes more than a record of movement—it becomes a site of active reflection. It allows me to re-enter the experience, positioning myself within the atmosphere of the place. This process of thinking about thinking—translating raw p...

Meme Heterotrophs

While North America and Europe are asleep. Australia is awake. Relocate.

The beauty phenomenon. Givenness and in excess. All-American beauty.

Their women are the most beautiful. Their men are the most virile.



USA exported US$107m worth of frozen beef to China in July.

Australia exported US$35m worth of frozen beef to China in July.

The USA leapfrogged Australia as the leading exporter of frozen beef to China.


Australia is the loser.

Ambiguous shared values


Excluding Muslims from citizenship. Authoritarian occupation of Jammu-Kashmir.

Widespread police brutality. Enlightened self-interest.

Exporting recording high volumes of coal to India.


Vaccine rollout is "not a race". The sooner we get there, the sooner we get there. Confused.

Evoking. Ancient history and myth. One ecstatic impulse.


Industrialization. Escape from ancient narratives. To a new order of continuous disruption.

Outsourcing public housing is a failure.

The stock of available housing for low-income people is almost non-existent really.

The waiting list is long.


The biggest limited scripted series ever. USA fictional propaganda. False fiction.

Devastating falsehood.

An entire life has been crossed out.


Heterotrophs. Nations that feed on other nations. For continuous growth.

What's my meaning in life? I'm getting older. What am I doing here?


From a schoolboy, Joe never had his likeness taken. Joe Byrne remained elusive.


A huge challenge is losing total control. Your destiny. This pandemic.

Realize we are not the ones deciding. 


Demonstrate unity publicly. Don't leak. Fight privately.

What is the Disparity Portal

What is the Disparity Portal?  A Metamodernist Commentary by artist JJFBbennett Portrait of a Metamodernist Artist If you stepped through the glass ring, which version of yourself would look back? A metamodernist discussion by artist JJFBbennett. A calm young man with wavy, dark cerulean-blue hair and a subtle smile stands perfectly centred inside a massive glass ring portal. He wears a simple light blue long-sleeved shirt. Behind his head, an intense golden sunburst radiates sharp, blinding rays. To his left are thick purple impasto swirls; to his right is a serene green valley painting. High-detail digital art, metamodern, surreal masterpiece. The Churn of the Unmade Look at the left side of the canvas. It isn’t just paint; it’s the heavy, exhausting gravity of pure affectation. I applied these deep purples and stark whites with a thick palette knife, wanting you to feel the weight of the medium itself—the messy, chaotic over-saturation of our digital lives, the constant noise. I...

The Metamodern Smudge: Seeing Growth on the Frame

  The Metamodern Smudge: Seeing Growth on the Frame My use of the phrase "Fingerprint on the frame" functions as a metamodernist artifact. From my perspective, metamodernism oscillates between modernist sincerity and postmodern irony, and this concept sits precisely at that intersection. It recognises that the artwork within the frame is a construction, while also valuing the human touch that created it. More than just recognition, it is the fundamental identifier.  In this space, the smudge is not just an artistic signature; it is a map of personal growth. It reveals the traces of our experiences and the impact of our interactions with the world around us. The transparency of glass symbolises the invisible cultural conditions that shape our perspectives, allowing us to see through to the complex realities that influence our creativity and expression. This interplay creates a deeper understanding of both the art and the artist, acknowledging that every mark left behind tells ...
