Artist statement

With a mixed use of 3D-techniques, gaming, VR, video and textiles Tomas Sjögren builds artworks and interactive installations that invites the viewer to contemplate the enigma of humankind's relationship to technology. By accentuating the spiritual and material properties of virtual existence, Tomas Sjögren's work plays with the idea that virtual worlds may not just be an extension of the natural world: they may possess a nature, materiality and mythology of their own, yet to be unveiled.
