Marc Chemtob is a sophomore at Carlmont and has been exploring the world of art for two years. He is an avid digital artist and his latest piece, titled Aetheria Prime, depicts a bustling metropolis with hundreds of towering monoliths and muted fluorescent lights. At the heart of the city lies a gaping hole emphasized by hundreds of blue lights that help illuminate the composition. During my interview, Chemtob simply stated that he had wanted to create “something cool to look at” and to “show what can become of cities in the future” in Aetheria Prime. However, Aetheria Prime depicts a world where everything is becoming increasingly mechanical and binary. While packed full of detail, the factories and housing complexes in Chemtob’s piece are formidable and mute, painted uniformly to a dull metallic color that only shines in the city lights. Each building is slightly different, yet they all share the same monotonous appearance. Overall, Chemtob’s Aetheria Prime is a fascinating piece of art that offers a unique perspective on the future of cities.
