Zulkarnain Ismail. Augmented Reality
11.10.2019 — 16.02.2020 Surrealism has long since been trending in the digital environment, making it hard to create something truly outstanding. The Malaysia-based digital artist Zulkarnain Ismail is an obvious exception: his visions are constantly replicated, his method continues to inspire others. |
