Tobias Groot

Tobias is driven by two main interests: the human body and new technologies.
His digital conglomerations contend with artificial intelligence and humans’ fleshy embodied experience. Utilising computational processes such as algorithms and neural networks to create images and stories revolving around themes of physicality, intimacy, transhumanism and authorship.
Combining personal work with the non-human and sometimes unpredictable nature his machines, Tobias plays with the idea of collaborating with a machine, highlighting its flaws, while trying to get a grip on its inner workings.

Having worked for the Dutch National Opera & Ballet and producing work as a Photographer in Residence at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam, Tobias has exhibited throughout the Netherlands at places like POST in Arnhem, W139 and Melkweg Expo in Amsterdam, Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, and Institut fur Alles Mögliche in Berlin.

Tobias has recently collaborated with the studio of Christopher Kulendran Thomas in Berlin, Germany, with which the project Another World (2022) has been exhibited in KW Berlin, Germany and ICA London, UK.

In 2021 Tobias was awarded the Artist Start fund by the Mondriaan Fund.
