Biography
Goro Modic (2003) comes from Ljubljana, Slovenia to The Netherlands to pursue art. Graduating
from Fine Arts at Minerva Art Academy in 2025 he lives and works in Groningen.
He is a conceptual artist exploring how the digital age shapes contemporary identity, intimacy,
and perception. Treating online life as both subject and medium, his work transforms everyday digital
gestures into thoughtful reflections on privacy, connection, and self-exposure. Seeking to bridge
the divide between the art world and broader audiences, he creates works that are intellectually
engaged yet accessible, inviting participation and dialogue beyond traditional art spaces. Balancing
humor and seriousness, art and product, he cultivates tension and paradox as tools to question
how we construct meaning and authenticity in a networked world.
Artist statement
clipping your nails above the toilet after your nail clipper fell into the toilet and you had
to pick it up with your unclip-ped hand and then proceed to clip your nails with the toilet
water on your hand because it is all the same if I wash my hands be-fore I clipped them or
after in fact it is even better because if it fell again I would have to re-ach for it again
anyways
I'm not disgusting, you are not efficient.
