Hello Tech User,
thanks for stopping by my website.
I go by Marteen -- I’m a visual artist.
I don't really want to share a lot with the internet...
at least not in that way.
This website functions as a portal.
It connects spaces and guides
the movement of my energy
through a sequence of digital spaces.
My work explores these concepts: ontology, absurdism,
cybernetics,
and post-internet art.
