Daniel Martin is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, collage, and digital technologies such as 3D scanning, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and 3D animation. His practice deeply engages with themes of reality, perception, and transformation, manipulating and transforming matter to uncover hidden truths and reveal the interconnectedness of our visual and conceptual worlds.
In his latest works, Martin delves into the simulation hypothesis, suggesting that our reality may be akin to a digital construct. Utilizing wireframes—skeletal structures used in digital modeling—as a central motif, he evokes the underlying digital architecture of our world. This exploration prompts viewers to consider the implications of the simulation hypothesis on their perception of reality, inviting them to contemplate the complexities of existence.
Martin’s art draws inspiration from the intricate patterns and textures found in nature, merging organic and geometric shapes to create emergent patterns. Through his multifaceted approach, he bridges the gap between traditional artistic mediums and modern digital technologies, creating immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the virtual.
