CCTVYLLE are proud to announce their exciting new project - CHIMERA.

This hardback art book showcases a leap forward in organic technology – advanced animal/machine hybrids.

A 60 page beautifully illustrated bestiary, CHIMERA is an introduction to the function and backstory of each hybrid. With functions ranging from surveillance to military duty and medical aid, each digitally painted image includes a detailed analysis of the biology and technical development behind this sophisticated fusion of beast and machine.

CHIMERA is told from the unique perspective of SATYR – the artificial intelligence that oversees this very possible future world. SATYR sees itself as a benevolent parent figure – safeguarding mankind and working for and with humans for a better and more efficient society .

CHIMERA is the culmination of work on remote surveillance that CCTVYLLE founder Gianluca Bonomo started with his comics series CCTVYLLE. Whereas CCTVYLLE was a modern day parable of what was to come – CHIMERA is Gianluca’s vision of a fully realised future for humanity.

Joining Luca in developing the backstory of this future and its creations, is writer Matthew Hardy, whose work has appeared in publications from Heavy Metal Magazine, Markosia and Mad Robot Comics. Matthew brings his comic book background and world building expertise to the project.

With breathtaking art from Gianluca Bonomo with the assistance of Alessio Schibuola and Vittorio Garofoli, we hope these hybrids will enthral and terrify you in equal measure – whilst raising questions about the developing nature of AI, technological surveillance and animal body augmentation.

The book will be launched as a Kickstarter campaign on the 27th of January 2022. Please click the link below if you would like to be notified when the project goes live:
