Johnny Noir's Biography

I have hated humanity from the day I was born. Art and animals are the closest things on earth to salvation, yet humanity would kill us all. I am a decadent poet of a certain age, painter, novelist and performance artist. I’m known by my alias, Johnny Noir, my identity fluid and electric.

I live in suburbia in exile from New York City, expatriated from the Lower East Side and the Upper East Side. One too bohemian, the other too bourgeois. I have no politics to speak of other than anarchy and revolution.

My work is an aesthetic synthesis of string theory and neuroscience. I call it neuropoetics and it does not appeal to the senses but speaks directly to archetypes of the subconscious. I write in HD Symbolism and eschew the 20th century.

“If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.”

–Job 9:20
