In the tides of digital culture, aesthetics no longer orbit authority. From social media to virtual communities and algorithms, the direction of taste is shifting toward the distinct voices of individuals. What once divided “mainstream” from “niche” now dissolves into intersecting, plural currents.
Out of this come new languages built from fragments: Vaporwave’s nostalgia, Weirdcore’s dreamlike haze, Goblincore’s wild devotion, and countless unnamed strains. They are not born of theory, but of distortion, emotion, collage, and lived experience. Such expressions are often intuitive and ambiguous, yet they reveal a posture of art in the information age: style as both a mirror of self and a thread of connection.
Neural Backup gathers these micro-universes. What matters is not reasonableness or conformity, but whether a work feels honest, distinct, and alive—whether it asserts its own core by leaving a trace of your existence, using style as a language to answer “Who am I?”
We are seeking works that embody this presence: fragments, fleeting visions, and personal languages that hold fast to what lies at the center—your core, your voice, your response.
Special Note: Selected artists will also join an Artist Group Critique hosted by the gallery — an opportunity for exchange and feedback grounded in openness and mutual respect.
Eligibility: Artists at any stage in their career are encouraged to apply.
