Polish artist Janek Simon (born 1977, lives and works in Warsaw) gets
inspired by
scientific
theories and models as well as such disciplines like geography or
economics
whose functions and specifics are subject to constant civilization
changes. Simon's objects often take a form of visualizations based on
mathematical formulas and statistical data. At the same time, experimental
and anarchical dimension of his works articulates clash between scientific
theories and reality of everyday life, sociological phenomena and
politics.
Many of his art pieces contain complex electronic systems created
according to the Do it Yourself philosophy—made from scratch by the
artist, who consciously keeps on searching for practices and strategies
alternative to the contemporary culture of mass production and prevailing
system of artistic production.
