ARTIST STATEMENT

As a species, we continuously explore novel avenues for self-expression across a spectrum of mediums and techniques. While the essence of expression has resonated since our earliest human experiences—be it a smile, tear, kiss, or caress—technology has emerged as a pivotal tool, aiding in the documentation and, to some extent, replication of these profound moments.

Drawing inspiration from this symbiotic relationship, Jason Scuderi, known professionally as Lasergun Factory, employs a fusion of technology and artistry to delve into the intricate bond between humanity and the digital landscape. Through his distinctive techno-infused style, Scuderi explores a myriad of themes encompassing artificial intelligence, social dynamics, spirituality, politics, psychology, and cultural shifts. His oeuvre spans contemporary artistic genres, from figurative to abstract, minimalist to pop, and surrealist aesthetics, each piece serving as a testament to the dynamic interplay between humanity and the ever-evolving technological realm.
