Antigoon

Antigoon is a multidisciplinary graffiti artist who combines his skills in programming, graphic design, and electronics to create machines that control markers and spray cans — making them co-responsible for the final result. By merging the analog with the digital, he allows space for imperfection, preserving the raw characteristics of graffiti. Due to this unconventional process, the outcome is never fully predictable — it becomes a true collaboration between man and machine.
