About
Tom Halkitis is a multimedia artist and designer whose work delves into the nuanced interplay between nostalgia and the emotional currents that guide and unsettle the human experience. Fusing retro video and modern digital, Halkitis crafts immersive environments that capture and reflect the fragmented nature of memory and emotion. With evocative visuals, he creates rich, layered experiences that invite viewers to engage with the complexities of personal and collective nostalgia.
Halkitis’ practice is characterised by the innovative use of vintage electronics, which serve as vessels for his artistic vision. By repurposing outdated technologies, and hand wiring new ones, he captures their intrinsic imperfections and enduring qualities, transforming them into tools that amplify his exploration of nostalgia and fragmentation. These analog relics, with their fragmented signals become metaphors for the complexities of human experience and how each individual yearns for purpose.
Through the fusion of old and new formats, Halkitis offers a reflective engagement with the transient nature of time and the myriad of influences that shape human experience. His art serves as a contemplative mirror, revealing the disquiet, yet beautiful journey through life.
