Marc Lee

Marc Lee is a Swiss media artist. In his network-based and interactive works, he explores how technologies shape our perception of society, the environment, and other forms of life. His projects connect digital networks, real-time data, artificial intelligence, and immersive media with pressing social and ecological issues.

Media Art at the Intersection of Technology, Ecology and Society
In his recent work, Marc Lee increasingly focuses on the relationships between humans, technology, and ecological systems. Artificial intelligence becomes an integral part of speculative worlds in which biological and technological forms of intelligence converge.

Against the backdrop of climate change, biodiversity loss, and technological promises to manage and control complex systems, he examines how living systems are observed, measured, and optimized. Plants, animals, fungi, and machines enter into new relationships, while the boundaries between nature and technology become increasingly blurred.

Interactive installations, virtual reality experiences, and mobile applications make these processes tangible and allow audiences to actively shape the works. Many projects evolve as dynamic systems driven by real-time data, networks, and algorithmic processes, raising questions of control, responsibility, and coexistence.

Marc Lee’s work has been presented internationally at institutions including ZKM Karlsruhe, the New Museum in New York, and MMCA Seoul.
