Mikułowski Barnaba
In 2010 he graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, majoring in Printmaking.
In my artistic practice, I delve into the complex and often unsettling relationship between humans and technology. By exploring the dual nature of progress — the promise of advancement intertwined with the risk of manipulation and abuse — I confront the ways technology reshapes our perception, strips us of autonomy, reduces us to data, and at the same time opens up new possibilities. Through my artistic work, I seek to encourage viewers to engage with the emotional and philosophical weight of these issues. My pieces invite reflection on the profound implications of our increasingly technological world.
