Spotlight: Angelo Plessas

Angelo Plessas is an artist based in Athens, Greece and a professed member of Neen, an art movement whose manifesto declares,"Computing is to Neen as what fantasy was to surrealism and freedom to communism. It creates its context, but it can also be postponed...Neenstars find their pleasure in the in-between actions. Neen is about losing time on different operating systems." Following this philosophy, Plessas' interactive flash animations "lose time" by requiring the user to activate seemingly pointless and absurd scenarios-- whether it be feeding snakes to Medusa's head or balancing bubbles on a scale with a mustache.
