ABOUT 4NCO

THE 4NGEL COLLECTIVE is an online space dedicated to internet culture. 4NGEL’s main platform is the website that provides a community, a safe space for other chronically online people, an organised chaos of info-dumps and opportunities for internet-addict creatives. 4NGEL is also the home of “ASCEND”, a webcomic about spirituality, social withdrawal and the consequences of being chronically online.

4NCO was set up by Masters student and graphic designer/chronically online cringe enthusiast @mothworms

Created at the tail end of 2024, we have big ambitions and have a set of goals for the following year. We believe in complete transparency so we will share our dreams with you .

Our aims:

We aim to curate a series of exhibitions that exist within both online and offline spaces, and to develop a community of chronically online artists, designers and creatives. By the end of 2025, 4NCO aims to host its very first exhibition, and details of this will be published after the ASCEND campaign has ended.
4NCO also aims to contribute to the research into contemporary internet culture and the impacts (positively, negatively and neutrally) it has on our wider society.

How do we plan on doing this?

4NCO will achieve these aims through audience participation. By signing up to the mailing list, we can allow others to engage with the brand. From there they can see, and become part of open calls for future projects, internet news of past and present and find opportunities to put their work out there in public view.

ASCEND is just the beginning…

ASCEND is the first exhibition under the 4NCO brand. It is a webcomic and merch campaign. To be released on 12th January 2025, the first chapter explores our desires to become a different, presumably better version of ourselves, viewed from the lens of a cynical, chronically online social recluse.

We hope you are as excited as we are for the future of this collective!

Love from the 4ngel collective <3
