JJFBbennett travels China Travel China vblog 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 think...

Intelligent Design My Cyborg Spoodle
Katcha, my beloved cyborg spoodle, truly is unlike any other dog I've ever encountered. His fur shimmers with this stunning iridescent blue that catches the light in the most mesmerising way—it's almost like he's glowing with energy. I love how the patches of soft fluff contrast beautifully with the gleam of his metallic joints and plates; it creates this fascinating blend of the organic and the mechanical that never fails to amaze me.
Whenever I watch him stand perfectly still, I can’t help but admire the intricate design of his gears and panels, animated by those vibrant LED lights. It’s almost as if he’s a work of art. What I cherish most is how he carries himself; despite the coldness of his metal parts, there’s so much warmth in his posture. With his head slightly tilted and those curious eyes locked onto something unseen at his feet, Katcha radiates this incredible curiosity. I genuinely believe a spark of self-awareness and high intelligence is glowing brightly within his mechanical frame. I feel lucky to share my life with such an extraordinary companion.
The Rumour Mill is a dreamlike space station that serves as a "stop and revive" for travellers. It offers a variety of experiences, from quiet seclusion to lively social interaction, along with retro-futuristic aesthetics. The station can alter one's perception of reality, offering access to memories and visions. Travellers can also repair their ships, gather gossip, and receive revitalising treatments. However, time (measured in "cycles") is a valuable commodity at The Rumour Mill, so visitors must manage their stay carefully.

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 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 ...
