Kurt Wesp Yianatos is a Chilean visual artist and artistic researcher.
His background combines painting, visual communication and design, giving him experience with images both as artistic material and as part of wider systems of production and circulation. His work has developed across different formats and contexts, from painting and photographic processes to digital image manipulation, software-based procedures and web projects.
Across his practice, images are repeatedly translated, reproduced and altered through different technical and material conditions. He is interested in how these shifts affect the way an image is seen, read and experienced, and in the relation between visual systems, material processes and painting.
