"A little late to the game, I first encountered Jacolby Satterwhite’s genre-blending work in 2019, during the online premiere of Avenue B (2018-19), a dystopic two-channel video that combined 3D animation with live action footage of the artist being flogged. Witnessing Satterwhite’s work is akin to taking a crash course in experimental maximalism. He embeds achingly personal narratives in landscapes built with a game engine then populates them with images that reference Western art history, queer culture, science fiction and ritualism."
