NEMO NONNENMACHER
Nemo Nonnenmacher (b. 1988, Duisburg, Germany) is a visual artist based in Europe.
He uses photography, sculpture and Virtual Reality to explore the relationship between body and digital space, the connection between ‘physical’ and ‘virtual’. He creates immersive visual worlds, constantly testing and investigating new technologies. On the one a fascination with the democratic outset, the participatory ‘everyone is a creator’, on the other hand the awareness of how virtual environments and digital culture ‘grow’ into and dictate our daily lives.
