About the Artist: Cian Furlong

Cian Furlong • He/him • Creator of “BloodBox”

Cian Furlong is a visual artist based in Dublin who works primarily with video and animation.
Cian’s work often discusses topics relating to the addictive nature of online content. The image below is a still from his video piece BloodBox, which explores the trend of “mystery box” content used to advertise cheap or useless products. In his video, blood and bodily organs are pulled from a box and discarded, illustrating how things important to life are not prioritised by the internet, while useless or broken objects are also pulled from the box and displayed in a much more positive light.
