Geek Art Exhibit Causes Panic Among Millennials: The Retro Art That Shocked
In what can only be described as a Geek Art surreal turn of events, an art exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) left hundreds of Millennials and Gen Z visitors fleeing in panic.
The cause? A series of “geek art” pieces that brought the retro world of the 80s and 90s back to life—just not in the way anyone expected.
The exhibit, masterminded by the enigmatic artist known as “LeNan,” features monstrous creations that seem to channel the eerie vibe of John Carpenter’s horror classic, “The Thing.”
But the true twist lies in the materials used: old cassette tapes, vinyl records, floppy disks, and film rolls from vintage cameras—artifacts from a time long past, now reassembled into grotesque, yet fascinating, forms.
If It Takes Us Over, Then It Has No More Enemies, Nobody Left To Kill It. And Then It's Won.
For those who grew up with these items, the exhibit was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. However, for the younger crowd, who have only seen these objects in history books or movies, the display was a source of pure terror.
“I didn’t know what those things were, but they looked like they were going to attack us!” exclaimed one panicked visitor.
As word of the chaos spread online, the older generation couldn’t help but chuckle. “Imagine being scared of a VHS tape!” tweeted one amused observer. “These kids have no idea what they missed out on.”
"I could have sworn I saw him move," said one of the young men about the geek art before bursting into tears with terror in his eyes.
The MoMA has since added additional context to the exhibit to help younger visitors understand that these “monsters” are fiction.
Nothing more than remnants of technology from the pre-digital era, assembled in a way that challenges our perceptions of the past and present.
The artist’s intention was to pay homage to the lost technology of the geek era. The unexpected reaction may have highlighted just how wide the generational gap has become.
