Project Scope: Visual identity and cover artwork for two singles: Killswitch Software & E.V.A.
Mediums: Digital Illustration, Generative AI
Themes: Cyberpunk, Underwater Dystopia, AI Deities, Post-Apocalyptic Techno-Futures
As part of the visual campaign for Cybernautica, I was tasked with creating cover art for two conceptually heavy singles: Killswitch Software and E.V.A.. These tracks delve into speculative futures shaped by technological collapse, divine artificial intelligence, and neon-soaked, submerged metropolises. I developed a series of visual explorations across several variant covers, each embodying a different facet of the sonic narrative.
🎨 Concept Development
At its core, Killswitch Software is the tale of an emotional paradox: a machine built to calculate, suddenly drowning in something it was never meant to process — love.
But what happens when an AI experiences heartbreak? When affection is interpreted as error? The result is catastrophic clarity.
For this single, I leaned into the tension between intimacy and detachment. The imagery needed to feel personal and distant — romantic but annihilating. I designed scenes where affection and annihilation blur, where steel hearts outlast human ones.
There’s a painful duality at play: intimacy and violence, logic and longing. The track — a collaboration between MIDAZ and vocalist Marlete Volz — unfolds in a submerged cyberpunk city, wrapped in cello strings and glitch-heavy breakbeats. It’s an elegy sung through steel lungs.
Key visual motifs included:
Cold, metallic affection — circuitry shaped like veins, neural bonds snapping mid-embrace
Glass cities underwater — symbols of isolation and data drowned in emotion
Red-lit warnings overlaying longing gazes — AI interfaces mimicking grief
🎧 Recognition
Killswitch Software was featured on Amazon Music México's Novedades Indie playlist — a spotlight on its genre-defying fusion of cinematic sound design, glitch beats, and post-human pathos.
“Es un viaje a través de una ciudad cibernética acuática… una canción que te atrapa desde el primer beat y te invita a sumergirte en su atmósfera especial.” — Expansion Radial
Concept
To expand the mythology of the track, I created a set of eight visual variants, each representing a different interpretation of the AI’s internal state or the crumbling world it inhabits:
Quantum Parallelism
Moulting Day [Year 1999]
The L11 Totalizator
Multi-Mind Brain-Computer Interface
L841
The Chained Eleven
The MANTIS Matrix
[Found via] YVAC Machine
More Works
