isaac monté

fascinated by societal sustainability, isaac monté is interested in unusual, new materials and how he can manipulate them. he sees himself as a pioneer who, by means of combining technology, art and science, shows how art can contribute to a strategy of sustainable development.

since graduating in 2013, he has focused on understanding, controlling and manipulating unusual materials. in projects such as 'filter factory' (2013) and 'leek packaging' (2017), he has explored the possibilities of using waste streams to create new opportunities. since 2015 he has been combining waste streams such as overdue foods with new, promising technologies in synthetic biology. this resulted in projects like 'the art of deception' and 'the meat project.'
