SWYSEN mark

Mark Swysen - algorythmatrix and more

The artist Mark Swysen questions the thought patterns of the human brain and the sociological dynamics of human coexistence from different perspectives. Psychology, genetics, sociology, religion, history and philosophy are sources of his inspiration. Mark Swysen refers to the art philosopher Arthur Danto: "Art is an embodied meaning" and that an artistic work is like an "awake dream that can be shared with others".
For the visual language of the artist, any technology, material, phenomenon or object can be considered as an instrument. In his artistic work, the artist removes everyday objects from their usual context and charges them with new levels of meaning. Because of the subcutaneous influence, light, movement and sound belong to his preferred media. The result of his deconstruction and montage questions the one-dimensionality of our perception and opens up new possibilities for interpretation.
