Marcin Ratajczyk (b. 2002, Poznań, Poland) is a media artist currently studying Digital Arts under UBERMORGEN at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. During high school, he often skipped classes to work on film sets, in theaters, and at art galleries. A theatre kid until the pandemic, he began to digitise himself during that time and turned towards media art. He studied Media Arts at the University of Art in Poznań and interdisciplinary anthropology at Adam Mickiewicz University for a year, before relocating to Vienna. He is equally excited by visiting a museum as he is by being bored at a Google Developer Summit. His work has been shown at Curators Lab, Poznań; and Schauraum MuseumsQuartier, Vienna. He gave a performative lecture at the 38th Chaos Computer Congress, Hamburg. His work has also been presented at various film festivals. Marcin Ratajczyk lives and works in Vienna.
