Lewi Moors

Lewi Moors is a 3D-artist based in Brussels and Paris. His artistic practice starts from the observation that people worldwide are driven by an inextinguishable longing for the transcendent: the superhuman, the infinite or absolute, that which is hidden and lost behind the sensory reality of earthly existence. By realizing the loss and impermanence of our world, including ourselves, we seek answers to the fundamental questions we face in our human existence. In more recent Western society, where notions of religion and the divine have become obsolete, we have begun to seek the fulfillment of our need for the transcendent elsewhere: in the ever-evolving forms of virtualization and technology. His art therefore gives meaning for this longing by translating the idea of the transcendent into the virtual world.
The virtual world is in fact an escapism to the inevitable decay of time. Worlds existing inside the digital landscape evoke a bittersweet melancholic feeling. At first it represents a romantic longing to an alternative, utopian existence, excluded from the fear of the finitude of things. Because it stays “alive” in the imaginative concept of the “cloud”. On the other hand, it creates room for a dark realization of our own existence due to a manifestation of the unreachable concept of infinitude.
