Angelo Plessas is an artist who lives and works in Athens. Using technology, his work highlights the ambiguous approach of spirituality, delving into a broad set of cosmologies and activating modes of communal interconnectivity, social relations, and identity. Plessas’s activities range from performances to artist residencies; from self-publishing to interactive websites; from quilted sculptures to livestream events and educational projects. Over the last years, he has organized the annual gatherings of the Eternal Internet Brotherhood/Sisterhood and Experimental Education Protocol in different places in the world.
