Daniel Manz’ work explores the complex dynamics between humanity and computationally intelligent systems. The London based software engineer/artist merges computational sciences with cultural inquiry, including their poetic dimensions.
Through instrument fabrication, data sonification and interactive design, Manz uses sound as a primary medium of interrogation - inviting the reevaluation of technological and cultural realities. His practice pushes technological innovation whilst engaging with central discourses of the present. Frequently exploring the techno-utopianism of the present, Manz produces work which is highly nuanced and alluring in its technological ambiguity.
