Marios Stamatis

born in Greece

hello@mariostamatis.com

 

While maintaining a solo practice spanning sculpture, performance, video, sound and text, he has established a long term collaborative practice with artist Lea Collet.

His practice examines the human–nature–technology triptych relationships as well as the technological limitations of embodiment and the value of emotion in a digital

capitalist society. Through a de-centred physical and neural fluidity in the form of expression, his work simulates and explores the increasing influence of new forms

of intelligence on the human psyche, intellect and ultimately the body, and how by embracing the interconnections between organic and non-organic life, affect becomes

a vehicle for rethinking these transformative co-existences.
