A cryptid is a creature that either exists or does not exist. For centuries, scientifically unproven and orally transmitted anecdotes about such mythological creatures have captured our imaginations and typically reflected our innermost fears and desires. Joye Holder's The Cryptid Hunter exhibition features artificial intelligence-created, often grotesque and distorted creatures that populate the Internet's invisible graveyard. These digital apparitions resemble legendary cryptids whose existence is based on collective beliefs and the blurring of reality and fiction.
