In Evolution

Using electronic waste as his primary material, Zayd Menk creates landscapes and interactive installations – confronting the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in our relationship with technology – considering the possibilities and limitations of our agency in a world increasingly dominated by machines.

Menk is an interdisciplinary artist primarily working within sculpture and installation, attempting to dissect modern technology and delve into the omnipresent force that defines our era.

At the core of his work lies inquiry into the ethical, social and ecological implications of technological progress – obsolescence, extractivism, the right to repair and human agency. Menk probes the vast and innumerable tangents that arise from our engagement with technology.
