Matan Mittwoch

Matan Mittwoch born 1982, Tel Aviv. Lives and works in Tel Aviv and Paris.

Mittwoch investigates the ubiquitous technological tools and the control appliance that they induce. In an era when everything has turned “smart”, when technology is part of our daily life, the artist analyzes these tools to understand their impact on our bodies, our emotions, our attention and our relationships to each other. In Mittwoch’s works, the mechanical eye competes with the human eye in a perceptual experiment. The technological tools which surround us become striking catalyzers of forms often recalling the modern history of abstraction.

Matan Mittwoch had numerous solo exhibitions. Among others, he exhibited in Momenta Biennale de l’image (Montreal), Centre d’art de l’Onde (Vélizy-Villacoublay), Wizo Academy of Design and Education (Haifa), Dvir Gallery (Brussels), Untilthen Gallery (Paris), Dvir Gallery (Tel Aviv).
