Anthony Filipelli produces one of a kind and limited edition artwork that offers new ways to perceive, contemplate, and imagine the world in which we live. He converts mass-produced products into self-actualized individuals, ubiquitous environments into anomalous space, accepts chance, and embraces procedural transparency to assist in non-deceptive outcomes. Filipelli primarily works in the physical realm to initiate tangible involvement, experiences, and dialogue.
