Artist Mike John Otto from Hamburg. Mixed Media Robot Art

My Art is a approach to transform elements of digital moodboards, style frames and layouts I do into analog Art Pieces. Most of the work is a mixed media between sketches, painting, printing and using a drawing robot that is controlled with processing scripts and feeded with assets of my digital work. Each piece is a unique work. I do exhibitions across europe. I believe in „Freiheit statt Freizeit“ (a quote by Joseph Beuys). That is why I see my studio and commercial work as one part of my story and my Art as the other part. Both are able to survive and co-influence side by side. My Art is for Sale.

How I work

I mostly co-draw with a drawing robot that is feeded and controlled via my mac and processing scripts. I feed „him“ with assets of my commercial work and let me inspire by his interpretations.

My Art discussion to the G20 days in Hamburg 2017. During the G20 days in Hamburg, one of the most contested areas was the Schanzenviertel
in the transition to the Grüner Jäger District in St. Pauli. This young „bourgeois“ neighbourhood was literally overrun for two days.
The picture stands for this symbolic overrun „bourgeois“ at the Neuer Pferdemarkt.
