The delicate balance between opportunities and limitations in the digital world will be discussed in the second SciArt SwitzerlAnd event at MASI Lugano, through the works of Atkins, which offer a disquieting and visionary insight into our present times. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of his generation, Ed Atkins (United Kingdom, 1982) expresses himself through various means, from writing and drawing to videos and scriptwriting for theatre. Avatars developed as CGI (computer-generated imagery) animations take centre stage in his works. The artist brings them to life using his own voice and expressions, as though they were his mirror-image body doubles.
