SCRT® x DAZED CLUB ART COMP CAPSULE

For the Art Comp's return, we collaborated with Dazed Club our seasons theme: Museum Of Science Fiction.

The competition was VERY close. Huge thank you to everyone who took part; there were so many great entries this year.⁠ As always, give the artists a follow, and take a look back through the previous posts if you missed them⁠.

⁠⁠Congratulations again to @tat2ultra⁠ @myplasticstraaww⁠ @bigalan.wip⁠ and @kenichizouzi

Winners received a cash prize, and inclusion in the MoSF collection. On top of this, they now have an artist feature interview on Dazed Digital, highlighting their work & winning design. 

Paige Howes:

Illustrator and Tattoo Artist @tat2ultra is drawn to the macabre in the everyday. This approach shows in their viscerally stylised designs that often invite the viewer to confront ideas that are at once familiar and unsettling.

Film plays a central role in their creative process, serving as a vessel through which they interrogate perception. Howes’ winning entry, the Judgement T-Shirt, revisits Terminator 2, focusing on the film’s depiction of human fragility and technological inevitability.

Ben Lee's:

Graphic and Visual Artist  @bigalan.wip work is rooted in introspection, pulling from whatever philosophical ideas or personal contemplations they’re exploring at any given moment. His practice is shaped by a curiosity for big questions – identity, belief systems, and the tension between humanity and technology.

Lees’ winning entry, the Conscious Machine T-Shirt, is inspired by Ex Machina, using the film’s portrayal of artificial intelligence and blurred human boundaries as a springboard for design. The piece captures the film’s pivotal moment where Ava, the protagonist, encounters a wall of synthetic faces. “I wanted to explore the paradoxical relationship between man and machine, and the uncanny familiarity of artificial life,” he explains. “We’re already seeing a glimpse of it today with AI’s current state, but this truly gives us a look into how blurred the lines between man, machine and God may become.”

Jonathan James:

Photographer and graphic artist @myplasticstraaww winning design, the Body Hammer T-Shirt, draws from Tetsuo: The Iron Man, a film whose dark, grungy aesthetic provided the perfect canvas for their style. “I wanted it to feel chaotic and alive, like it’s moving even though it’s on a shirt,” they explain, layering ink and water their design reflects a fascination with visuals that feel “a little unhinged, like they’re alive beyond the screen.”

“My art really started from making YouTube videos as a kid – Minecraft, Fortnite, all that stuff. That’s where I learned how to edit, experiment and just push myself creatively,” says artist Jonathan James. Those early experiences with video and photo editing shaped their approach to image-making, teaching the artist to combine technical skill with instinctive creativity.

Sue Lee:

Graphic designer @kenichizouzi’s work is driven by a love of sci-fi, tech and the mechanics of the human body. They often focus on fluidity, sharp lines, and small details – joints, fingers, feet – while mixing media and typography as core parts of their visual language.

Lee’s winning entry, the Android Dreams Hoodie, pays homage to the giants of sci-fi culture – from Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – blending dystopian aesthetics with questions of identity, humanity and longing. “This year’s theme feels more relevant than ever,” they say. “It makes you ask: What do you dream? Who are you in the world you’re building?”
