Artist Statement

Steven Warwick is a time based media artist, living and working in Berlin.
Using his film and video background, he works with loops and assemblage through the medium of music, to create an inter-relational play of sounds and the images that they evoke. The loops are self generated and Warwick is particularly interested in presenting loops in infinitely different orders, to see how they work (or don't) in those contexts,
evoking the methodolgies of Jack Smith and the use of the Version in dub music.

With his background of experimental long form drone music, Warwick is interested in the prolongation of a mood or emotion, which lends itself to further meditation and "nachdenken" or reflection. This reflection has been developed by his interest in dance music, a fascination in both the use of infinite interplay of DJ mixing, and the phenomenon of its social setting (where the music is invisible, and can be seen more as a live installation in real time fluxus).

Warwick is also currently working on a magazine "Feeling a Bit Mental" which can be viewed as an conceptual art piece, focusing on the deconstruction of the use of mass media and interplay, meditations of schizo-geography and the mid point between his musical practice and the frames of film, akin to the use of slide film.
