Artist and filmmaker
A lot of his work contains stuff that is found online. This is what i found really interesting about it. I saw the video 'Mainsqeeze' at the TodaysArt exhibition and i'm kind off fascinated by it. Throughout the previous lessons my direction for a concept was leaning to youtube/filming on mobile phones/Why do we film things? and then i saw this. It show some really weird clips but because of the internet and everything that is on there it's pretty hard to be really shocked by something
