Arik Weismann

Artist and visual performer, Ukraine/Germany.

I am less  interested in creating an alternative reality than in capturing it through my art, aka, the mysterious in the world surrounding us all. 

CV

statement

The confluence of science and art has fascinated me throughout my career. For the last seven years, I have developed a body of work inspired by atmospheric physics, computer vision, video mapping and spatial augmented reality, and social digital media. I strive to create artworks that enable viewers to observe and interact with natural processes. 

I am less interested in creating an alternative reality than in capturing it through my art, aka, the mysterious in the world surrounding us all. 

My artworks frequently incorporate flowing water, fog, sand, and light to create complex and continually changing systems. Many of these works can be seen as “observatories” in that they frame and enhance our perception of natural phenomena. I am intrigued by the way new and unpredictable patterns can emerge when things are allowed to flow. These patterns are not plainly static objects, but more like patterns of behavior.
