Simon Speiser

Simon Speiser is an German-Ecuadorian artist who merges nature and technology through various media. Exploring themes of origins and the interplay between natural and technological worlds, virtual reality and ancestral folklore, sci-fi and non-western conceptions of technology. Using storytelling as a tool in the fight against dystopian thinking, Speiser creates immersive, sensory experiences that highlight the resilience and adaptability of pre-colonial cultures.

He has exhibited at Tate Modern, Tai Kwun, Julia Stoschek Foundation, Walter Phillips Gallery Banff, CAC and MAAC in Ecuador and the Bienal das Amazônias among others.
