TueSurreal, disturbing, endlessly proliferating, fleshy, creepily funny… just some of the words that come to mind when viewing Cyriak Harris’s YouTube channel.
Better known by his first name, Cyriak, and his B3ta username, Mutated Monty, this British freelance animator perfectly embodies today’s internet user culture aesthetic through clips that are often built from a single drawing or picture, and then manipulated with simple-looking Photoshop-style effects. Recurringly featuring cats, cows, sheep, and human fingers, Cyriak’s work is often put into motion through creepy depictions of growth through mutating, kaleidoscopic, and endlessly multiplying and evolving memes, all set to gloriously carnival-esque, self-composed soundtracks. Noted by Wired Magazine, he has also been picked up by TV networks such as Adult Swim and the Cartoon Network.
