ARTIST STATEMENT

 Painting is hybrid matter, produced by the synthesis of the variable artificial technologies and the material nature, remaining as a memory of this relationship.

 By customizing the design of material recipes, specialized tools and alternative platforms, I learn to uderstand the visual language of painting and shift its potencial for communication. Communication about the human visions emulated with technological instruments in response of the material support of painted image. 

How far can a cultural object be modified by its material conditions so that it is still recognized as product of human representation? How can organic disortion or mechanical traces obliterate such visual stereotypes as a landscape or figure?

Shifting the positions of visual elements in hybrid matter of painting brakes down principles  of abstraction in image. The accident or disortion is accepted as new type of geometry or structure defining the painting objects. 
Painting object in my work is the paint called "Glup" itself, agent inventing its own memory of relationship with sight. 

BIOGRAPHY

In my work I try to advance the individual approach to the creative technology of painting. Using the concept of Painting as a living formation, as it’s presented in theory of Isabelle Graw, I try to develop the updated technological models and instruments as support for imagination.

The new technology of painting will consist of methods and materials which have the potential to amplify the current conditions of digital economy in combination and dialogue with natural processes.

              I have develop my own paint binder (Glup) which is now main prism for articulation of new painting methods. Further I create new instruments and applications developing the sense of authorship, digital economy (Malbot) or natural processes (Mosspaint). The updated methods are conclusions between my individual technological approach, historical tradition of painting and natural procesess. 

What I see as “creative technology” is different approach to Koert van Mensvoort’s concept of Technology humane[1]. Instead of opting for human needs my concept of creative technology should emphasis more environmentally determined imagination.  I see the creative technology as an opposite to the obsolete “conservative” technologies. Conservative technology is producing user friendly, specialized and comfortable solutions of discursive problems, the creative technology on the other hand is practice of nonverbal language through which we communicate and manipulate with our Environment. As creative, the technology operates between lot of open ends. It does not require finished products but rather instruments and platforms that are prepared to certain level from which we can continue - think through the technology. It is built upon an improvisation.
