Paweł Janicki

Paweł Janicki (1974) draws mainly on the achievements of music, contemporary and media art and posthumanist practice — but he constructs forms different from the existing ones. He engages a wide spectrum of techniques, approaches and protocols: creates works using synthetic senses, programming techniques — also in the modern, cognitive incarnation — and elements of space and material engineering. An important role in Janicki‘s creativity is drawn from historical and current contexts — in particular the perceived history of art and something that could be called the history of thinking.

Janicki is associated with the WRO Art Center, where he is a member of the curatorial board, and his recent affiliations include institutions such as Funken Academy, Fraunhofer IWU, the pan-European ArtCast4D/AAASeed project. This year (2024) Janicki is also curating the Polish Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea. Previous institutional collaborations and presentations include NASA (US), Ars Electronica (Austria), Transmediale (Germany), Sapporo International Art Festival (Japan), Khoj (India). The Society of Algorithm lists his net performances among the events crucial to the development of this genre of art.
