About
Son:DA creates in various media computer mouse drawings, space installations and mixed digital/analog installations and systems. It uses modern technology both as a theme and a mode of creative production. Their anxious heavy contour lines and deliberately simple flat forms depict the symptoms of an absurdly overwhelmed society struggling with alienation. Topically they speak (and link) new and old technologies, but in a critical and ironical way. Recently Son:DA exploring also the field of (audiovisual) performance. Son:DA widely cooperates and exhibits home and abroad.
