• Ben Aqua / Artist and Musician
  • Hi! ☺ My name is Ben Aqua 벤 아쿠아. I am an artist and musician based in Austin, Texas.

    I enjoy taking/making photographs of beautiful people and sketching things that float around my (sub)conscious. I am deeply inspired by everything around me, pretty much. I <3 the Internet.

    If you desire, you can follow my every virtual movement on Facebook, Soundcloud, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube.

automated smart phone gathering
c u there never
let’s watch from an outer glass sphere
we’re invisible
one view in/out
relocated based on always forgiving hot-but-cold technology
fibers of our human souls uploaded to cloud waves
surfing them always like inverted slave ships
ironic metaphors of proto political resistance
wordless LED scrolling signs at a public institution
no more anger
death to anger 4ever

I watched you dive repeatedly into the sand,
each time morphing into a microscopic sea turtle-like creature,
then I grabbed you frantically and you said “don’t you get it?”

just like, 
organic musc christina shirts
with douches

ppl
i’ve time soft fucked afar
i’m like that sex

bears world
at friends fems brains bros

you’re like actually feminine
it’s gentleness
it’s azealia mothers

it’s aguilera’s awesome fur
softness lot
like thinkin, disagreeing, like: “don’t penises,
some bear azealia?”

(collab w/ Jaakko Pallasvuo)

WE’RE BOTH SENSITIVE ARTISTS
LONGING FOR THE SURREAL
CRISS CROSSING MENTAL TEXTURES
CREATING A THREAD OF CONSCIOUSNESS
WOVEN TOGETHER BY MOTHER INTERNET

I UPLOAD;
THEREFORE I AM.

THE INTERNET IS THE ONLY TRUE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS
FOR IT SIMULTANEOUSLY AND OBSESSIVELY HARNESSES THE ENERGY OF
THE HUMAN;
THE NON-HUMAN;
THE META-HUMAN;
THE POST-HUMAN
INTO ONE GIANT SPHERE OF HEARTFELT AND MECHANICAL THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, MEMORIES, IMAGES, BLASPHEMIES, ABSURDITIES, NU DIVINITIES, SUBCONSCIOUS THEORIES
