Artistic method

Based on the concept that all technology is a projection of the unconscious onto the external world, Anton Snt creates constellations of ready-made objects - The Desiring-Machines - that function through a combination of several media.

The principle of the The Desiring-Machines and Rhizomes, outlined in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s book “Capitalism and Schizophrenia“, proved to be the closest to the artist’s method. Constantly forming new compilation of various parts or fragments of already completed “machines“ that do not work as originally conceived and their meaning is not that of the manufacturer. Thus, Anton Snt’s artworks represent a continuous process of reconstruction—unfinished compositions consisting of incompatible objects and techniques that come together in new conjunctions, only to fall apart again and then reassemble in entirely different arrangements.

He belongs to the first generation of artists who started with the advent of computers, inspired by their possibilities.
