Till Schönwetter

I am romanticising landscapes, recursion and technology.
I am working as half a wonk (with Miguel Rangil) and a third of the dreamteam.

Till Schönwetter is a new media artist whose work spans technical systems and poetic structures, crafting playful, romantic critiques of technological inevitability. With a background in landscape painting, his practice moves across interaction, fiction, and systems thinking, folding digital tools into strange experiments, unruly interfaces, and speculative environments. His works tend to glitch, loop, or contradict themselves as systems and environments that misbehave just enough to stay alive.
