Antoine Schmitt

Visual artist Antoine Schmitt creates works in the form of objects, installations, and situations to explore the processes of movement and question their intrinsic issues, whether plastic, philosophical, or social. An heir to kinetic and cybernetic art, fueled by metaphysical science fiction, he reveals and literally manipulates the forces at play to confront human nature with the nature of reality.
