Spiros Hadjidjanos

Spiros Hadjidjanos is a Greek visual artist who lives and works in Berlin. His practice spans across different media and is informed by his critical reflection on technological processes. Since the beginning of his artistic practice, he has explored computational images by technological means, primarily referencing the transformation from photographic records to data points with works that traverse spatial, temporal, calculable, and material dimensions.

For his three-month residency with the research group Thinking Tools of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp at MORPHO, he will research AI algorithms that extract 3D models from single photographs and investigate the potential effects these tools could have on human representation.

Spiros (1978, Greece) studied with a DAAD scholarship at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) where he was awarded the Meisterschülerpreis des Präsidenten. He has created set design for theaters such as the Volksbühne in Berlin and Kammerspiele in Munich and has exhibited his work in galleries and institutions worldwide such as the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Musée d’Art Moderne and Palais de Tokyo in Paris and K20 Düsseldorf.

His residency at MORPHO is being carried out in collaboration with the research group Thinking Tools at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts
