MARCEL SCHWITTLICK

Marcel Schwittlick is an artist living and working in Berlin, Germany. With his work, he is examining cybernetic aspects of generative systems and modern technology. He is interested in digital culture; it’s influence on society and chances for alternative kinds of communication. He is working in strong connection to various practices, forging a relationship between physical and digital media, traditional and modern approaches. Marcel Schwittlick is working with a variety of media, ranging from digital images, physical and interactive installations, generative poetry and conceptual video.

So far, I've concentrated on the blending of digital and analog media. Combining an artistic-visual level, a technological demand, and a spiritual or philosophical concept was always interesting to me. At HTW Berlin, I studied computer science, and at the University of the Arts in Berlin, I studied art and media. This helped me to grow my ideas by working behind the scenes of common software applications and getting closer to the DNA of (digital) media. It has also given me the ability to build my own algorithmic methods and machines.

Marcel Schwittlick graduated in 2014 with a B.Sc. in Media Computing at HTW Berlin, where he examined the technical properties of digital media. Currently he is studying Art & Media at the University of Arts, Berlin.
