About this artwork
"The mermaid song attracts navigators, surfers and hackers towards the rocks of the Greek Islands. Home of Gods, reason for dreams and video games. Sonic the Hedgehog by Sega and King Odysseus of Ithaca. A trip to the end of the game, and them back, to the sweetest moment, when you surrender to the mermaid that promises death with pleasure. A myriad of penises on your back, are the only thing remaining from your divinity."
This is an acclamation… to an urban Deity. Using the Pop video-game hero Sonic the Hedgehog, and appropriating the male symbol of power, we create a fluid gender character that represents the future.
