Emma Anne Johnson

Emmannuel and the Unlimited Consciousness is the audacious brainchild of interdisciplinary artist Emma Anne Johnson, hailing from the vibrant artistic enclave of Brooklyn, New York. Emmannuel (Emma Anne) is a true polymath, channeling their creativity into visual artworks, immersive installations, and electronic music. An ongoing and ever-changing artistic practice, their inspiration is rooted in exploration and experimentation of finding appreciation of a “glitch”— a sudden (usually temporary) equipment irregularity or malfunction. Glitches, with their inherent imperfections and digital anomalies, offer a unique lens through which they explore the intersection of technology, human experience, and aesthetics. Glitches become a metaphor for the unpredictability of life itself, a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. Emmannuel’s art is an exploration of the digital age's unique challenges and opportunities, using glitches as a metaphorical and aesthetic point of departure.

Taiitan

I am an artist from The Bronx, New York, specializing in illustration and painting with a focus on exploring the intersection of decolonization and psychoanalysis within art. My career has been profoundly shaped by graffiti, manga, anime, music, afro-futurism and surrealism which inspire my mission to tell stories often overlooked or untold by underrepresented communities. These art forms tackle emotional, spiritual, and societal oppressions, and have been crucial in my investigation of the complex relationship between the subconscious and artistic creation, particularly in the context of inner-city challenges such as gentrification, racism, institutionalization, and trauma.  Through various mediums—such as cardboard, watercolor and oil paintings, collages, poetry, graphite and ink drawings, murals, ceramic and epoxy sculptures, illustrated books, and interactive exhibitions—I engage with themes of self-awareness, empathy, and understanding others. My work often explores questions like, "How can individuals become more aware of their thought patterns?" and "How does understanding others contribute to self-awareness?" By blending manga elements with informational text and drawing on psychological studies of thinkers like Frantz Fanon and Octavia Butler, I aim to offer insights and bridge gaps in understanding, often created through educational disparities.  Ultimately, I hope my art serves as a tool for self-reflection and inspires others on their own journeys of self-discovery.
