residence and inspiration

Julianne Aguilar was born in San Antonio, Texas. She currently resides in Albuquerque where she is getting her MFA at the University of New Mexico. She believes that the 90s are the reason she became an artist and to this day she is still inspired by shitty websites, 80’s ski jackets, Data’s cat Spot from Star Trek: TNG, obscene anime, computer repair shops, good video games, Pokemon cards, obscure YouTube sub-sub-sub-genres, WaybackMachine, the “binary sunset” scene from Star Wars, photos from her high school goth phase, USB salt lamps, Neon Genesis Evangelion, smashing the Like and smashing the patriarchy.

Themes in artwork She works primarily by making art about media, mostly video games. In these piece's there are strong sings of feminism as she works in fields that usually fall into male-dominated areas.
