SHORT BIO
Thanos Tsiousis (b. 1984) is an interdisciplinary visual artist and graphic designer based in Athens. His practice combines material and digital works to explore the environment, technology, and humanity as embedded in the tools we create. At the same time, he is concerned with past cultural heritage practices and how they affect human psychology. He is interested in the value of ritual and design as an event and contribution to human interpretation. Storytelling plays a vital role in his work, based on the study of inheritance, critical thinking, and practice towards imagination and visions of possible scenarios.
