Plastiboo

Grotesque Surrealism, Pixel Worlds, and Dark Worldbuilding

Plastiboo is a pseudonymous artist and game designer working at the intersection of grotesque surrealism, pixel-based aesthetics, and fragmented worldbuilding. The publications collected here are built around richly detailed fictional universes — dense, cryptic, and governed by an internal logic that draws as much from interface design as from visual narrative tradition. Digital decay and the haunted residue of obsolete software run through the work as persistent formal concerns.

The visual and thematic registers Plastiboo operates in are specific: underground gaming culture, body horror, speculative fiction, and the kind of fragmented worldbuilding that refuses easy resolution. Pages function less like conventional illustration and more like corrupted system outputs — meticulous in construction, unsettling in effect. The work belongs to a lineage of artist publications that treat the book as a designed object with its own internal cosmology, rather than a vehicle for linear storytelling.

What makes these publications relevant to a catalogue like Lokator100's is precisely their resistance to genre comfort. Cryptic interface design meets dark visual narrative; pixel-based creatures inhabit lore systems that reward sustained attention. This is work for readers already oriented toward the experimental end of the artist publication spectrum.

Plastiboo's titles sit within Lokator100's broader holding of Artbooks and share thematic ground with the catalogue of Hollow Press — a publisher whose output occupies a similarly dark and visually uncompromising register.
