BIOGRAPHY

Miltos Manetas, born in 1964 in Athens, Greece. lives and works between London, New York and Bogotá. Manetas playfully explores new fields of expression, locating his practice in the realm of contemporary digital reality. He paints contemporary still lives: heteroclite collections of wires, cables, screens and computer hardware, while also producing video works, computer-generated prints, websites and performances involving video games. Manetas claims that websites are today's most radical form of art. As a means of countering the lack of theoretical definitions for this specific form of creativity, Manetas hired Lexicon Branding, a company devoted to the branding of new products, to create a name for this new 'art' practice. The chosen term “Neen” was announced at Gagosian Gallery in 2000 and accompanied by the “Neen manifesto”, which states that “computing is to Neen what fantasy was to surrealism and freedom to communism."
