Robert Boyd's "Xanadu" is described as an MTV-style "rapid-fire" montage of apocalyptic thought that's meant to "probe society's self-destructive impulse while parodying various elements of popular culture," according to submitted materials.

The Brooklyn, N.Y.-based artist has exhibited "Xanadu" in museums around the world.
