Based between Berlin, Vienna, and the South of France, AROTIN & SERGHEI are pluridisciplinary artists creating concepts, installations, and intermedial paintings that open new perceptual horizons. Their practice connects visual art, science, philosophy, and music. Major works have been presented in leading international art institutions and biennials, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Venice Biennale, and the Fondation Beyeler.

Infinite Screen is at the core of their artistic research. This long-term project explores the concept of infinity beyond visible surfaces. Developed within evolving architectural and mnemonic contexts, it investigates light as impulse, vibration, and resonance space, using screens as symbols and portals to the infinite.

Public space is central to their practice. Their installations activate resonance spaces that allow universal questions to circulate within society. Collectors and the public alike can participate in the creation of their large-scale installations through the acquisition of artworks, preparatory drawings, and dedicated collector editions, extending the work beyond its physical presence.

Collaboration, research, and transmission are fundamental to their methodology. The duo regularly collaborates with creative institutions, researchers, inventors, composers, and musicians, and shares their experience through conferences, seminars, and workshops. Their activities include engagement with the European Platform for Digital Humanism, the co-initiation of Ars Electronica Gallery Space, participation in international symposia, and research collaborations with major scientific institutions.

The art book AROTIN & SERGHEI – Infinite Screen, published by Hatje Cantz, was launched at Kraftwerk Berlin and Art Basel 2023. order here
