Theo Triantafyllidis was born in 1988 in Athens, Greece. He lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Prometheus is a live-simulation work that expands on the absurdity of human behaviour. His digital representation of the never-ending cycle of greed and self-serving conduct is played out by a pigeon in aggressive pursuit of a pretzel. The artist’s live simulations are endlessly variable, evolving through a continually changing, augmented space. Presented in an outdoor setting on Avenue Winston Churchill on a large-scale day screen, the work is based on the computer’s archiving algorithm and lends a physical presence to digital information.
