Pictureplane

Pictureplane has made his name circling the outer limits of pop culture in several mediums. The Brooklyn-based artist's gallery works, shown both in the U.S. and abroad, collide the familiar with the fringe and hard lines with visceral spatter. His Alien Body clothing line serves up a stylized study of symbology, the occult, and societal decay. His music—beautiful yet heavy, swirling with wild strains of industrial dance, gothic hip-hop, and emotive New Age—treats electronics not as artificial, but as extensions of our analog selves. After a decade of challenging the status quo, Egedy is not only kin to makers of lovely dark music everywhere but also a vital player in the global DIY community. He is a proud outsider, yes, but his tribe is legion and ever-growing. In 2011, Pictureplane's 'Thee Physical' arrived, marking a major leap forward. Egedy's voice was suddenly dripping with sex at the forefront of a lush synthscape, while cuts like 'Trancegender' and 'Post-Physical' explored the human body with gender-dissolving aplomb. He moved to Brooklyn from Denver in 2012 to stoke alt-rave culture from a more powerful vantage, before teaming up with fabled indie-rap imprint Anticon for 'Technomancer' (2015), an LP about the blurring line between ourselves and our machines. His newest record "Dopamine", was released by George Clanton's legendary vaporwave imprint, 100% Electronica. Along the way, Egedy has toured with everyone from Crystal Castles, HEALTH and Major Lazer, to the Faint and Gang of Four. He has remixed Lil B, been remixed by Grimes, and collaborated with artists like The Distillers and Lil Peep on fashion collections.
