Abstract

The article charts the intertwining of life, technique, imagery of the author. As a son of artisans, he grew up amidst paintbrushes, drawings, and experiments aimed at creating new techniques and paints. He was also always surrounded by circuits, motors and tools, and invariably accompanied my parents in their daily tasks. From a young age, he began building my own remote-control cars with precarious components, taking apart electronic toys to see how they worked. Growing up in this environment greatly influenced his concept of technology. This entire range of experiences and interests comes together in many different ways in both theoretical research and in artistic practice .
