Bio
Miltos Manetas is a Greek-born painter, conceptual artist and theorist. His work explores the representation and the aesthetics of the information society. Manetas is the Founder of NEEN (the first art movement of the 21st century), a pioneer of art-after-videogames (MACHINIMA) and instigator of POSTINTERNET and NFT. In 2009 Manetas was invited by VENICE BIENNALE to create the first INTERNET PAVILION. In 2014, Rome's SWISS INSTITUTE hired Manetas to bring Swiss art to the Digital Age and Manetas came with the concept of ÑEWPRESSIONISM which he went on developing on Social Media using his techniques of OVEREALITY and METASCREEN.
in 2017, Manetas used DOCUMENTA 14 for his concept of MEDIOSUD. In 2018, Rome's MAXXI realized Manetas' INTERNET PAINTINGS, a three months performative exhibition. In 2019, his NEOUMILE Modus Operandi was hosted by Rome's MACRO. In 2021 MANETAS FLOATING STUDIO began. From 2023, Manetas is producing AI POLAROIDS.
According to LEV MANOVICH, Manetas' art can be placed within a well-established tradition in modern painting (representing modern people in their particular modern settings). According to NICOLAS BOURRIAUD his work belongs to the domain of RELATIONAL AESTHETICS and POST-PRODUCTION
