“Fabien Zocco explores the artistic potential of technological outsourcing, applications and other software. Playing on the endless possibilities offered by the digital network, he appropriates the icons of digital popular culture and virtual aesthetics to create architectures, forms or futuristic stories. With a hint of derision, he questions our relationship to new technologies that have invaded our daily lives and investigates our relationship to the virtual.” _Sonia Recasens, critic & curator.
His work has been shown in France (Le 104-Paris, Le Fresnoy, FRAC Poitou Charentes…), China (Pearl Art Museum, Shanghai), Mexico (French Institute, Mexico DF), Canada (UQTR gallery, Trois-Rivières), Poland (A-I-R program, Wroclaw), Belgium (NTAA Biennale (Gent), Royal Museum of Mariemont), Italy (Into thin words, Polignano a mare), Germany (GEH8, Dresden), and online (The Wrong – New digital art biennale).
