I AM

anticrash

anticrash

I started using the Anticrash handle to represent myself in the blossoming world of the 1990s-era internet. Since then, it has been my artistic persona, idealized self-image, and fabricated public face for a majority of my creative endeavors in the virtual space.

Thematically, the Anticrash persona is a nostalgic technomancer with a romanticized admiration of 90s cyberculture and the rebellious spirit of cyberpunk protagonists. It is an homage to that era, harnessing the mysticism and technical acuity of the digital age. It is that spirit I try to represent in my art.

But what does Anticrash mean? Literally, a protection against failure. Philosophically, a balancing force of reality both physical and surreal. And personally, it means digital rebellion, blending the innocence of 90s cyberculture and the hard-boiled grit of post-modern cyberpunk, embodying resilience in an era of technological exploration.

Beyond Anticrash, I wear other hats as well in the virtual world of art and design. As Nicholas Cristo, I've carved a niche in design communities and freelanced extensively through the 2000s. Yet, I'm perhaps most recognized as Agent N, the Creative Director and Art Team Lead for QuantumTECH and Awardable where I've created art for NFT projects and dynamic qNFT Customs, crafted promotional campaigns, and curated Awardable badge collections, among other creative endeavors. Each identity serves a unique purpose, but all are interconnected in the grand tapestry of my creative journey.
