The artist transforming themself into masterfully mythical cyborgs

Y1i_i1y is the instagram that will have you lost in matrics of fanciful piczo edits

The year is 2007, you run home from school, turn on the pc, find a snack and return. You type in, www.piczo.com into the search bar. You now proceed to sign in and began assembling your produci3z. Your captions and headers all typed out in internet slang. The death of you if you dare not replace your “E”’s with “3”’s and your “S”’s with Z’s. And if your really from these London streets, these “Z”’s become “SZ”. Well, if you can’t relate you’re either a generation Z’er who’s first entry point to the internet was via Twitter and Instagram, thus, having missed the age of coding your own feed before knowing what coding even was. The original internet generation: early 90s babies. 

For those of us looking to spark some nostalgic interest, or simply have a penchant for a Y2K edit, well, this is for you. Y1i_i1y is the Instagram account bringing the best of Sega and all things cosmic dreamscapes. Transformative makeup looks and a solid fusion of fahsun looks to match, this Instagram feed will have you tripping in no time
