Sten.js: Engineering Utopia

I am Sten.js, an engineer by training and a self-taught artist by passion. My work explores the fragile boundaries between reality and fiction, merging technology, storytelling, and dystopian visions into immersive artistic experiences.

At the core of my practice is Utopia, a multidimensional project that unfolds as a living narrative system. Through painting, photography, video, and digital environments, Utopia interrogates power, resistance, and transformation. It is a world in constant collapse and reconstruction, where glitches and rewrites reveal new meanings.

Recurring figures such as Radio, my childhood imaginary friend turned herald of resistance, and the Nixon clones, embodiments of authoritarian control, shape this universe. Their presence symbolizes both destruction and regeneration, guiding audiences through the contradictions of a fractured reality.

My work does not seek resolution but thrives in tension. It invites the viewer to become an active participant in rewriting reality, confronting the instability of meaning while imagining new possibilities for existence.
