artists bio

ENCOR is an art studio founded in 2016 by swiss artists Mirko Eremita, David Houncheringer , Valerio Spoletini & Manuel Oberholzer.

They use light and acoustics as messenger and symbolic value to project themselves into a world which like the properties of light itself are still mainly mysterious and out of reach of our full understanding.

Their work documents our place in time by creating kinetic sculptures, motion design, contemporary architecture, installation art, sound visualizations and its distributions. By developing and combining their own tools and technologies with social processes and high- and lo-fi materials they redefine the limits of all used mediums.

The very strong group identity is built upon each member contributing his own skill set and sensibilities when approaching each project.
