ANOMALIA by Chikai

Anomalia explores resistance through the image of a lone figure moving against a collective current. Each work stages a confrontation between individual agency and cultural conformity, revealing textures of dissonance and transformation. The collection spans physical and digital realms. The physical includes 15 large-scale metal prints that invite closer inspection through a physical zoom motif, echoing the artist’s earlier work, Hominis. The digital component introduces a 1/1/500 format built from an AI video glitch, pairing each unique video with a hand-selected “hero” frame—some clear, others glitchy or abstract. These dynamic NFTs use an interactive HTML viewer that toggles between still and motion, breaking conventional formats. Anomalia challenges aesthetic and structural norms, inviting viewers to witness resistance and emergence across form and medium.
