About the artist

Perplexed Alien Anthropologist is a Melbourne-based digital artist whose work has been sporadically on Melbourne’s streets as paste-ups and stickers for a number of years anonymously, who only recently adopted this name that is drawn from the Roger Waters song “Amused to Death”. The song reflects upon alien anthropologists finding the remains of Earth where humanity has wiped itself out, they are perplexed about the cause of human extinction and they conclude that humanity has amused itself to death. Obviously the artist is concerned about the state of the world we are leaving our children and grandchildren, and the uprising of right-wing politics and fascism in our western world. This artist does not use Generative AI in their work.
