About the Artist:
Zayd Menk is an interdisciplinary artist primarily working within sculpture and installation. Menk’s practice attempts to dissect modern technology as a hyperobject—delving into the omnipresent force that defines our era.
At the core of his work lies inquiry into the ethical, social, and ecological implications of technological progress— obsolescence, extractivism, the right to repair, and human agency, as well as broader ideas of intangible data and infrastructure, in terms of frequencies across the electromagnetic spectrum. Menk probes the vast and innumerable tangents that arise from our engagement with technology.
Using electronic waste as his primary material, Menk creates interactive sculptures and installations—confronting the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in our relationships with technology—considering the possibilities and limitations of our agency in a world increasingly dominated by machines.
