Profile // Eric Testroete

Most of us will never graduate beyond building ourselves a light aircraft. Some amongst us will fashion ships, maybe even birth swans and produce flowers. However, there’s always a show-off.
After working as a video game designer for 9 years and with skills in paper manipulation beyond that of your average classroom aviator, Vancouver artist Eric Testroete has brought graphic design to life.

Eric Testroete - Good with paper.
A graphic designer by trade, Testroete decided to create a wire-framed model of his own enlarged head to emulate the ‘Big Head Mode’ found in a handful of console games. Documented on his website, Eric and his frankly, rather eerie piece of geocentric ‘World-Art’ are a refreshingly unassuming discovery in an internet culture saturated with hollow self-propelling entities and inexplicably ubiquitous non-celebrities. A creation adrift in an internet full of inarticulate ‘art’, by not baying for your attention, Testroete deserves your focus all the more.
