MEK.txtTrained in applied and fine arts, Gogolitus—also known as MEK.txt—spent years designing web interfaces before returning to a more instinctive, expressive practice: pixel art.His vibrant, electric style is steeped in saturated color and draws from the aesthetics of past decades—consoles, sprites, arcade dreams. Yet his vision is always turned forward. What emerges is a retrofuturist aesthetic, where nostalgia becomes a tool of invention and the future feels haunted by memory.Between pixel worlds, synthetic galaxies, and code fragments, MEK.txt’s work explores the illusions, promises, and philosophical paradoxes of the digital age. One question returns like a hidden glitch: Is this world real — or just convincingly rendered?
