«Zimoun creates complex kinetic sound sculptures by arranging industrially produced parts according to seemingly simple rules. Using motors, wires, ventilators, etc.., he creates closed systems that develop their own behavior and rules similarly to artificial creatures. Once running, they are left to themselves and go through an indeterminable process of (de)generation. These quasi autonomous creatures exist in an absolutely synthetic sphere of lifeless matter. However, within the precise, determinist systems creative categories suddenly reappear, such as deviation, refusal and transience out of which complex patterns of behavior evolve.» Node10

«David Scheidler surpasses common media art by leading us into a new field, a new media art that plays with the ideas of high and low culture by researching the idea of the spectacle through technique. This minimalism in form and the ‘maximalism’ in content connect Scheidler’s work to several cultural currents that have dominated European culture in the last decades. He represents to us a new generation of internationally oriented artists who examine, with a special affinity for aesthetics, our cultural behaving and cultural change at large.» Peter Sonderen
