Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

Marios Stamatis is an Athens-based artist, designer, and educator. His practice includes sculpture, performance, video, sound, and text. Through decentralised physical and neural fluidity in the form of expression, his work explores the increasing influence and growing impact of new forms of intelligence on the human psyche, intellect, and ultimately the body. By embracing the interconnections between organic and non-organic life, affect becomes the catalyst for reimagining these transformative co-existences.

He holds an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University of London, and was awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship ARTWORKS 2022. He has participated in various artist residency programmes such as Villa Bergerie, and has presented his work in galleries and institutions internationally. He has worked collaboratively as an artist duo with artist Lea Collet. Currently, he teaches at the Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Midcore

Drawing inspiration from the fields of anatomy, and algorithmic cognition, this new body of work examines human relationships through technology. The research focuses on notions such as symphysis, hybridism/mutation, parasitism/vampirism, becoming and togetherness. Additionally, future discourse on the potential singularity* will round out this set of references, examining the dynamic tension between humans and artificial intelligence. This new work consists of an installation (sculptures, objects and sound). It addresses the contemporary phenomenon of midness reflecting our current environment by highlighting physical fatigue associated with media saturation and the accompanying sense of unease and awkwardness.

* typically refers to a hypothetical future point in time when artificial intelligence and machine intelligence could surpass human intelligence and capabilities.
