macbook water, 2018

Edition of 1

“macbook water” is on the cover of the March issue of the German business magazine brand eins.

In 2013, Andy Kassier created his alter ego, Andy Kassier, who ironically breaks the narrative of wealth and happiness in late capitalist society. He continuously develops his long-term performance according to the current zeitgeist. How does photography change in the digital age, when images become the medium of communication and, at the same time, the medium of photography is expanded through performances and livestreams?
 Kassier observes phenomena in social media and the development of digital image cultures. Based on his findings, he searches in his artistic work for answers to socially relevant questions: What is happiness? How do I become successful? How is masculinity portrayed? How do I accept myself? What is the role of the artist in the digital age?
