Zalán Szakács

Zalán Szakács is a post-digital artist, audiovisual performer and researcher who explores media theories through the use of light, space, and sound. His conceptual approach is translated into interactive and immersive environments, creating atmospheres that challenge human perception.

In each project, Szakács explores a personal fascination of historical subjects and deconstructs them through a cultural, political and social lens. Through this research, he analyses overlooked and unconventional parallels between past and current zeitgeists.

Szakács exhibited and performed at Kunsthaus Graz, V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media and Klankvorm in Rotterdam, sound:frame in Vienna, Atlas Electronic in Marrakesh, Demo festival, CIVA – new media art festival, Espronceda in Barcelona, Dekmantel in Amsterdam and has collaborated with artists such as Children of the Light, Stefan Fraunberger, Sébastien Robert and Teresa Winter.

In 2017, Szakács graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, Man and Communication. In 2019 he completed his masters at Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam in Media Design: Experimental Publishing.
