With artist and designer Katia Meneghini, Thanos has created CTRLZAK, a hybrid studio that integrates diverse disciplines and forms of expressions. the studio’s creations are based on extensive research into humanity’s cultural history and the natural world in order to create a meaningful future. Due to its’ interdisciplinary approach CTRLZAK specializes in art direction while creating artworks, objects and spaces but above all points of reflection whereform follows meaning. Through the use of semiotic tools within the creative process the studio conceives projects and orchestrates situations that surpass common aesthetic values operating on a deeper cognitive level, aspiring to make people consider their actions and the planet that we live in.
