Slit City is a project created by Brent Walker about a post apocalyptic world birthed by a bunch of outsiders.

Little has been revealed about this story, but with every drawing I make, another piece of the puzzle falls into place. Here’s what I know so far:

Slit City was a refuge for those who refused to be chipped and connected to the WebMind—an all-powerful AI that promised safety, convenience, and a superior existence at the cost of human freedom. Those who joined the WebMind became part human, part machine, their lives governed by algorithms and social credit scores. But a small group of rebels chose autonomy over control, even as they were branded as outcasts.

The unchipped were marked by a government-engineered virus, one that left their deepest secrets and traumas etched across their skin for the world to see. The virus was meant to shame them into compliance, but instead, it forged a new kind of human—one unafraid of vulnerability, resilient in the face of judgment, and fiercely independent. These outsiders, scarred but unbroken, formed a closed community hidden from the WebMind’s all-seeing eye.

The entrance to Slit City lies in an unassuming backyard in Arabi, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans. Through a narrow crevice in the earth, the rebels built a sanctuary where freedom and creativity reign. Here, they’ve turned the remnants of the old world into something new: a living, breathing testament to human ingenuity and defiance. At its heart stands a towering monument, its stacked rocks embedded with faces that tell the stories of those who dared to resist.

Slit City is more than a refuge—it’s the birthplace of a new world. From the ashes of the past, the survivors are crafting a future defined not by control, but by redemption, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit. Their story is one of creation, not destruction, and it’s only just beginning.

Stay tuned for more.
