Talking about mankind

Despite his classical studies in painting, in the workshop of Panagiotis Tetsis at ASFA, Alexandros Psychoulis appears on the Greek Art scene in the 90’s, with the first digital interactive works made in Greece and worldwide. The first of these, the “Black Box”, is presented at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997 and awarded with the Benesse Prize. Exploring in a creative way the challenges of the digital age permeates the whole of his work, which in the coming years will take the form of large installations with “soft” materials. The refutation of visions for a free digital sharing community and the transformation – in recent years – of cyberspace into a control tool, is redefining its creative tactics. Invents robotic design machines where the intangible meets the randomness of natural space. He continues to make use of digital technology and at the same time uses painting, drawing, wood sculpture as a meta-language to negotiate the hybrid possibilities of thought and action in the present.
