Danial Hyatt is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on Music/Sound and Videogames/Programming. His work contains recurring themes of myth and is executed with emphasis on technology. He was awarded an MFA in Creative Practice from Plymouth University (UK) in 2017.

Danial Hyatt writes of Ziggurat of Neglect for KB17: “From the ancient dolmens to Lego, the deliberate act of stacking, connecting and balancing material blocks is embedded in human nature. It can be observed plainly in Karachi, amplified by hues from the setting sun on raw concrete. This manifestation also lives in the garbage heaps that cast long shadows in the junkyard.”
