Timur Si-Qin b. 1984

Timur Si-Qin's (b. 1984, Berlin) interests in the evolution of culture, the dynamics of cognition, and contemporary philosophy, weave together to create a new kind of environmental art. Taking form through diverse media, installations of 3D printed sculptures, light-boxes, websites, texts, and virtual reality, Si-Qin’s work often challenges common notions of the organic versus the synthetic, the natural versus the cultural, the human versus non-human, and other dualisms at the heart of western consciousness. Drawing from disparate disciplines like the anthropology of religion, marketing psychology, and new materialist philosophy, Si-Qin regards spiritualities as cultural softwares capable of deep behavioral and political intervention.
