Petr Svarovsky is a new media artist and designer. He decided to work in a zone between art, technology and science, in new media and beyond, which gives him the possibility to claim new areas and to investigate new ways of expression. He started with interactive sound installations in the early 90's, and have worked with virtual reality technologies, the Internet and code art. Most recently, he has been using mobile technologies and researching the relationship between technology and human consciousness, especially the way that mobile Apps and games affects human social behavior. Petr Svarovsky uses mobile and social media to create public interventions, events and challenges, as new forms of artistic expression. Nowadays, he is also experimenting with bio technologies. Petr Svarovsky exhibited his work internationally at institutions including Laboral (Gijon, Spain), the Netherlands Media Arts Institute (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), the Hennie Onstad Kultursenter (Oslo, Norway) and the Ars Electronica Center (Linz, Austria), at independent venues and galleries including UKS (Oslo, Norway), Backspace (London, United Kingdom), STATIC (Liverpool, United Kingdom) and Aktions galerie (Berlin, Germany), and at festivals including the FILE Festival (Sao Paolo, Brazil), Ars Electronica (Linz) and the Venice Biennale (Venice, Italy). I have given presentations and lectures at events including the ISEA 2010 (Duisburg, Germany), Arts and Business in Digital Times (BI, Oslo, Norway) and Fine Art Training and the European Higher Education Area (Univesitat Politecnica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain).
