The Cyberpunk Art of  Jamy van Zyl

My name is Jamy van Zyl, I am a fine artist from South Africa. I work in ball point pen and occasionally in animation and digital illustration. My work explores cybernetic connectivity in the context of a white, male South African who desires nothing more than to be immersed in Japanese culture.

Jamy van Zyl

How far do you want to run towards the technological, how willing are you to balance your humanity on a blade? Can you imagine being plugged in, not like we are now, but as we perhaps will be, nothing without digital interface, each of us made into the type of digerati Jamy van Zyl imagines? His starkly nuanced depictions of man/machine interface are not at all beyond ken—rather, they feel not just possible, but imminent.
