zilion is a Berlin-based artist currently pursuing an MFA in Arts & Media at the University of
the Arts. He holds a BA in Interface Design from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. His
work critically explores human-computer interaction, the aesthetics of technology, and speculative
futures.
Drawing inspiration from diverse forms of life, intelligence, and consciousness, zilion examines the
symbols, aesthetics, and infrastructures that shape human society and its entanglement with
technology and natural phenomena. His practice is informed by an intersectional perspective,
intertwining queer-feminist theory with technological discourse.
Working across time-based media, algorithmic processes, and digital environments, his practice spans
CGI world-building, sound production, film, and painting. Rooted in the belief that both art and
nature exist in a state of fluidity, his work challenges fixed perceptions and imagines alternative
futures.
