Tech noir was coined by James Cameron, and used as a name for the club featured in the classic tech-noir film, The Terminator. Taylor Schultek has brought tech noir into the 21st century with his painting series called Catlyst. Here’s more from JUXTAPOZ:
Drawing inspiration from 1960’s and 1970’s military defense research programs dealing with the exploration of both computer technology and psychic abilities, Taylor Schultek researched the early development of the internet, satellites and digital photography as well as parapsychological programs including MK Ultra and Project Stargate. Seeing that both sides of these government-funded programs essentially sought out the same results in different manners, the artist developed a world in which technology and the paranormal are interrelated…. Schultek has set these new paintings in a tech-noir world where the online realm is consuming the physical world.
