Marius Watz is an artist concerned with generative systems for creating visual form, still, animated or realtime. His signature is a brand of visual hedonism, marked by colourful organic shapes and a maximalist attitude. Most of his works deal with drawing machines implemented in software, live visuals for music or large-scale projections of plastic visual systems.
In Grid Distortion, orderly grids are distorted through a gradual transformation, causing lines to crack and bend. Under pressure, the two dimensions become three, the lattice looking like bubbles as they emerge towards the viewer.
Marius Watz (NO) is part of the KIOSK-gallery, curated by Yves Bernard and Domenico Quaranta.
