About
Artist Statement
I build living public artworks where machine perception, environmental data, and human presence shape one another. The works behave less like fixed images than like responsive atmospheres: systems completed by site, body, data, and time.
My practice gives form to conditions that are difficult to see directly: ecological rhythm, atmospheric change, collective movement, machine interpretation, and the emotional charge of shared presence. I use computation as a living material, not to illustrate technology, but to make public environments feel unstable, perceptive, and alive.
Biography
Ronen Tanchum builds living protocols for public environments: computational artworks in which bodies, buildings, environmental data, and synthetic nature continuously reshape the image.
His large-scale installations and moving-image works have been presented at the World Economic Forum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Art Blocks, and Times Square.
He develops the work through Phenomena Labs, his artist-led studio for production, installation, documentation, and long-term stewardship.
