Abe Lampert's Nemesis Encounter is an inconspicuous science fiction narrative that has been folded over itself, keeping its meaning concealed in the pleats. Composed between 2018 and 2025, the finished work draws from many of the artist's influences, including Harlan Ellison's experiments in narrative structure and eschatological imagery; Linda Montano's complex relationship with Christianity and grief; and Jean Baudrillard's assessment of information systems in service of the war machine. Nemesis Encounter concerns itself with divine retribution - giving equal consideration to both the spiritual and historical implications thereof.
