Christos Magganas :: Greece
digital art


I am trying to bring together, through a variety of media, different methods of representing the body; to comment on aspects of identity and appearance in relation to gender, race, nationality, sexuality and technology.

There is much debate within the electronic arts at present about the role of the body in a digital era-most of it rather far fetched-but have done work about cloning, genetics and so called cyborgs. I am also interested in genetic engineering and the so-called post human body.

I am also interested in the Greek tradition of using stories, narration, and myths. There is poetry of the language used within Greek myths and music that is an expression of an aspect of myself, which is difficult to express in any other way. Also I like to create implied narratives within my images. My work therefore often takes the form of a staged event.

All my work derives from photographs and printmaking material that is put together digitally-plus use of 3d models that i design and use custom made for each image.All these are combined together and worked/manipulated digitally in order to produce the final artwork.
