Mario Klingemann aka Quasimondo is what you get when you cross the analytic mind of a coder with the creative fervor of an artist and add a little bit of mad scientist mentality to the mix. In his aim to surprise himself, he constantly tries to explore uncharted territories in order to discover unseen beauty and unthought ideas. A key factor in his work is the drive to overcome limitations by creatively repurposing and recombining objects—thereby revealing their hidden qualities. His creations have been exhibited in international art shows and won acclaim among critics as exemplary pieces of net art.
